We have a great dog to give away. We found him (current name Frankie) on the street near our house. We picked him up and took him to our local vet and had him showered and shaved - he has already been neutered and clearly had a previous owner. The vet said he was 1-2 years old and is in pretty good shape. He adores people and does that trick where he shakes your hand. He's house trained and a lot of fun. Unfortunately we already have two dogs and thats enough for us. We are looking for someone with time or a couple looking for a challenge to give him a loving home

any responses for the pup? where do you live? i really want to adopt one for my auntie, but we both work and i don't want him to be alone so often. Sad

That looks a lot like the dog that I fed out front of my house near Hyewha last week. A Korean guy said he'd take care of it.

Same area?

I dont think so, but he may have travelled a way. I can bring him to hyewha - would your korean guy still like him? perhaps he could call me. PM for my number

What area did you find him in?

If it's the same animal, it was a very nice dog.

Spitting image, minus the trim.

We found him near olmpic park south of the river. He is amazingly nice and he does run up to people on the street and try to befriend them - seems unlikely he could have travelled so far but not impossible i guess, my other 2 dogs are not reacting well to him, so i depseratly need to find somewhere for him, if you know anyone please let me know

does that mean you want him?

you sound just a little bit too desperate to get him out. If he's such a great dog, why not take the time to guarantee a great home?

My reasons are 3 fold.

One i have two other dogs who i rescued from the street - both of them are not taking to frankie well at all - it's not frankies fault but they don't like him on their patch.

two - as you probably can see there's a fair few people looking for homes for stray dogs and so i'm trying to stand out from the competition

three - it's only a matter of time till my wife gets too attached to him and refuses to let him go

Do you have someone to adopt the dog yet? I live in Gyeongi-do Gwangju-si, so I am about 40 minutes from Gangbyeon Station. If you found him at the Olympic Stadium, is it safe to assume you live near Jamsil? I'm actually very interested in meeting the dog. My girlfriend is moving here in about 3 weeks, and we want to adopt one together.

Hi, no we havent found anyone yet. We live in dunchon dong which is on the purple line (5) on stop from olympic park. We can easily get to either Jamsil or Gangbyeon. My wife and or I would love to introduce you to frankie whenever you have time. I would like to PM you but i havent written enough posts to do that. perhaps you could pm me. look forward to hearing from you

I can understand the wife getting too attached bit...somebody help this man out before he has another mouth to feed full time.
