Hi everyone,
This is an urgent alert for potential foster parents.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to commit to regular volunteer work, but I travelled to the Asan shelter Saturday to speak with Mr. Park and some Korean animal advocates. Of course I had to cuddle some dogs while I was there. <3
Mr. Park recently rescued a large group of dogs from a hoarder’s home in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. Until now, they have been under observation at the Asan shelter, but they urgently need a home environment where they can learn how to live as well-adjusted family members. Most of the dogs probably need housetraining, some are probably shy, and all of them should see a vet soon to determine whether they have heartworms or anything else adopters need to be aware of.
The most critical cases right now are three mama dogs with young puppies. The youngest puppy is only about three weeks old and volunteers are very worried about him/her. Another litter is a bit older with two babies, and the third litter has five babies. They all appear to be small/medium-sized mixed-breed dogs and they’re extremely cute.
Volunteers are desperately looking for foster homes so these babies can get their shots ASAP and get started on housetraining and socialization.
If you can help any of these babies, please e-mail Charis at charis_cook@hotmail.com. If you want to help but don't think you can handle a puppy, there are some really sweet adults in the group too (including a mother dog whose babies died). As I said, I’m not a regular Asan volunteer, but if you PM me I’ll do my best to get you the information you need or get you in touch with someone who can guide you to the shelter.
Photos: I took some of these; Charis and Sujin took others.
Update: I'm taking one dog family out of this thread since one of the siblings is adopted and the other two are in foster care. But since I last wrote, at least one litter has been born to a recently arrived dog who must have gotten pregnant at the hoarder's house.
