Flash Gordon is a little 3 legged dog from the Asan shelter who is currently being fostered in Seoul.
Here is what his foster carers Nana and Justin have to say about him:
“Just letting you know how our puppy is settling in here. First of all, we felt a bit guilty calling him Flash, since he doesn't get around too quickly. Then, Justin remembered a comic called Flash Gordon, and we decided Flash was just his first name. So we call him Gordie and it suits him just fine. Especially because "gordo" is Spanish for "fat," and he's definitely a bit bigger than he ought to be. We're going to work on that!.
He is as sweet as you said he'd be and loves to be petted. He was very good natured with some neighborhood children this afternoon. After his bath and a brushing, he has the most beautiful coat I've ever laid fingers in. From the fur length, texture, color, and that lush neck ruff, we're taking a guess that he's a collie - probably Shetland Sheepdog, because of his size. And he does pee and poop outside!
He's housebroken, we've gotten a better sense of his exercise needs, and he's getting more comfortable at home: approaching us on his own more often, exploring more of the apartment, etc. He's a little manic when we get back at the end of the day, but 9 hours alone is a lot to ask of any dog. On a side note, he's also become quite a hit with the neighborhood kids--they're fascinated by the three-legged dog. Now they gawk at the dog instead of at us!
Gordon's very sweet, supremely mellow when he has company, content to lie around and be petted pretty much all day. He gets a little skittish when left alone for too long, so he'd be best with someone who could check in on him on a lunch break. He loves to walk, but he tires out quickly, so an ideal home would be able to give him 4-5 short walks in a day. Also, we've just begun working on some simple commands--sit, stay, roll over--and he's already showing some progress.”
