Meet 'Gigantor'
She needs a home although its not urgent. I'm fostering her (was abandoned).
She's about 1.5-2kg. 2 years old.
Quite scared still, but quickly adapting. Was in a bad state for quite a while and shellshocked/depressed from living in the pound with hundreds of other dogs (don't know how long she was there). The pound is getting shut down so all the dogs are to be euthanized by the end of the month:(
I could only take one, and chose her.
She's VERY quiet (in fact I haven't heard her make a noise) and well natured. Very calm, such a cutie. I'd keep her if my country didn't have such harsh quarantine laws.

I've only had her since yesterday and when I first took her out, she couldn't walk, too scared. Just sat there in shock. However, since having her at home, she's walking/running around waggin her tail, eating well and playing with my other dog. Its amazing how quickly she's opened up and now seems so happy. Has a lovely personality...

She's had all her shots and is free of heart-worm. The vet said she's very healthy ^^
Anyway...PM if interested.

Lets keep this thread free from Boshintang (dog soup) "jokes"

I don't know what to tell you except that you're doing a good thing.

Such a little dog like that, couldn't anyone here help her out? If I was in Korea-which I'm now not-I'd take her ASAP. Nonetheless, if you're willing to fly her to Taiwan I'd be game. Thing is, she'd have to spend 7weeks in quaranting, which would be devastating for her.

I now have a little abandoned schnauzer that may die soon, it was neglected so long. Plus, I have two other native dogs. Just keep on trying, and see if there's any way to fly her back with you.

Great name! Sweet dog! Good for you for trying to help. I'll consider it, though I wonder if I should since I'm out of the country so often.

Actually Kermo, me too. I have a dog and I travel every single vacation. but you know - there are loads of people around willing to dog sit, I have a few dog-sitting exchanges, I look after theirs, then they look after mine etc, works out fine. Also, a lot of people want to have a pet, but don't want to commit, so dog sitting when they can allows them to have some temporary-pet company^^

Great news - Gigantor found a great home with an American woman Smile


(Unfortunately she didn't like the name 'Gigantor' and is going with something predictable like 'Scruffy' Oh well Wink )

Glad to hear the news. A dog like that can really add color to a person's life. All it takes is one and much good can result for both of their lives.
