I think this may be the vet association Tim was referring to, but it seems to provide the listings only for Yongsan-gu. If you lost your dog in Gangnam-gu, you'll have to contact the Gangnam-gu office to find out if she's being held at a pound or vet clinic somewhere. Please let us know how it goes ... poor dog.

Do the Korean shelters check for Microchips?

[esetters21]

Thanks everyone for the links and helpful advice!

She was not microchipped as far as I know and had no identity tags on her at the time I lost her.

Here is a short update for all that have expressed sympathy and have given recommendations. I have continued to scour the area where she fled with no luck. I worked long hours today, but have some extra time tomorrow to go to both the vet's office and check with the public office. It's been a rough go the last fews days, and although I know my chances of getting her back are becoming very slim I will continue the efforts. Keep your fingers crossed for both Claire and myself, please!

Good luck.

Try giving her photo to all the vets in your area. Somebody might bring her in sometime.

Great news! One of my co-workers saw her this morning in the area around my school. I searched for her with another co-worker during lunch on foot. We saw her after nearly an hour of looking, but were unable to catch her at that time (she was running away down the street). I started the search again immediately after school with my gf in the same area. Again after looking for about an hour, she crossed an intersection in front of us. I was able to catch up to her and secure her this time. She is safe and back home. Thanks for everyone that gave advice and compassion.

Outstanding blue leader! Buy you a case of beer for that show of diligence!

I am so glad you found her

[NicRenee]

That's so wonderful! I can imagine how great it must feel to have her home. I always fear losing my little, skittish guy as well, what a nightmare in any case, but especially in a foreign country!

That's great you found your dog!

That's great! I'm so glad you found Claire! I don't think I'd be able to survive here if I were to lose my Oskur Wiener.

That's great news - you must be so relieved. Collar and microchip the order of the day tomorrow I imagine

Very nice of your work colleagues to keep an eye out and help you search too, some people wouldn't bother.

But is the dog happy about being recaptured? Are you stingy w/ doggie treats...Setters? And, what about belly rubs? I heard you where cutting way back on them, no? I'd say you were very lucky this time, don't let it happen again!

[Bramble]

I'm so glad she's back!
