Floyd - Superdog

[timvas]

Floyd was found wandering around a University outside Seoul. He has obviously been someone's pet but we were unable to find his owner.

He is in foster care in Yongsan (very close to Noksapyeong & Itaewon).

Nana looked after Floyd for a short period of time before we could find full-time foster care for him, here is what she had to say:

"Sex - Male
Age - 2
Neutered - Yes
Vaccinations - completed
Housebroken - Yes
Breed - Who knows?
Size - Around 13-14 cm high at the shoulder, maybe 8-10 kilos?

Floyd is an eager-to-please young man who was found wandering north of Seoul looking very confused by this turn of events. He has a "hit-the-deck" submission reflex and get nervous when picked up or touched around the neck by strangers, suggesting he'd been hit. When he first entered foster care, he was even afraid to pee while anybody was watching. Some treats and the wonderful example of his foster brother dog have cured him of that phobia.

He is very smart - he learned "sit" and "stay" in just a few days. Floyd likes to exercise and would do best with daily walks. He also gets anxious when left alone for too long, so he would do best in a household where he was not alone for more than a few hours at a time. His favorite thing in the world - after treats, of course? Lying next to you on the sofa (or ON you, on the sofa!) lazing the morning away. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would make a great second pet"

And here is what his foster carer Bonnie has to say about him:

"He has been a star! He is totally trained now not to mention very sweet and easy to have around. I would highly recommend him to any family. I have found no drawbacks - He doesn't bark, he is very submissive and seems to enjoy being around people very much! He has been easy to walk too."

If you would like to meet Floyd or would like more information about him please contact me (Tim) on 010 8940 5233 or tim.vasudeva@gmail.com or email Bonnie at bonweida@aol.com His adoption fee is 50,000 won which will go to the Asan dog & cat shelter.

An update on Floyd from Bonnie:

"I had a family visit Floyd last night with four young children. It was not a good mix. I think Floyd still has memories of the kids throwing rocks at him at the University. You would have thought he was a different dog. He barked as they entered the house and was super timid even though the kids were instructed to be really slow and cautious with him. So, I think we need to discourage families with small children from adopting Floyd.

Thanks to both of you for advertising Floyd. I am confident we will find a good home for him. I think a home with another dog would be good for him too!"

Adopted, I believe!

Thanks so much to Bonnie, Nana and Justin for looking after him and for finding him a great home - this little guy owes you a huge debt
