Well nothing is free but I'm putting up 300 000 won of my money to save 10 dogs. If your interested in saving a dog from this Shelter which is being forced to closed PM me asap...it costs 30 000 won to adopt...and I'll pay it.

Check out the link you cant say No once you've seen the pictures. This has to be done before the 28th of February then they will all be sent to a kill-shelter!!!
You may have read the story on the front page of the lonelylifetime website about the shelter in Daejon which is being forced to close at the end of October.

Below are photos of many of the dogs who desperately need either an adopted home or foster home before they are sent to other shelters (which, unlike the Daejon shelter, are unlikey to be "no kill" shelters).

Anyone who is interested in meeting some of these dogs, we are organising weekly trips every Saturday. Details are below, for more information please contact me via e-mail at tim.vasudeva AT gmail.com or my mobile 010 8940 5233. Anyone who can't make it on a Saturday, Annie in Daejon is available to accompany you to the shelter before 1.00pm on weekdays (it is in the countryside and hard to find) her contact details are e-mail ansauvage AT yahoo.ca or mobile 010 4566 2322.

Our normal Saturday arrangement is to take the 9.00am KTX train from Seoul Station to Daejon (meeting at Seoul Station between 8.30 and 8.45am). It takes about an hour. We meet anyone going to Daejon from elsewhere (ie not from Seoul) at the Daejon train station at 10.00am and then we take taxis to the shelter (about 20 mins by car).

As far as adoption, transportation etc is concerned the usual process is:
- anyone considering adoption should definitely come down to the shelter to meet the dogs in person (adopting a dog is such a personal process, you always need to make your own connection with an animal);
- you can spend as much time as you like at the shelter getting to know any of the individual dogs that you wish to - taking them for walks, hanging out with them on the grass etc;
- the adoption fee is 30,000 KRW which goes to Mrs Jung the shelter manager (the lady who runs the place and pretty much pays for everything out of her own pocket);
- we will generally then take any dog in the process of adoption to the vet at the Daejon Emart (he is very kind and does a lot of work with the rescue dogs for very little cost) he will look at each dog to check their general health, give them a blood test to check for heartworm etc, that normally costs about 25,000 KRW;
- if the particular dog is not up to date with its vaccinations (which many are not, as Mrs Jung just does not have the money) then it is probably a good idea to get the immunisations done (which will cost another 25,000 KRW);
- as long as the dog is in a carry cage (you can either bring one with you or the Emart vet sells them) then the dog can come back on the KTX train no problem.
