Also, to clarify a couple things, the 50,000 won adoption fee isn't for profit. It will be used towards their mother's heartworm treatment or spay. Any money leftover will be donated towards other animals in need. So I'm not making any money out of this.


Adoption fees generally cover the medical expenses of the animals being adopted, not other pets of the owner. If these fees recover anything more than the cost of basic medical care of the puppies, then they actually are for profit.

Have these puppies been given all their shots and been spayed/neutered? If they have, I'd actually be interested in one. They all look like excellent potential family members.

Just to clarify, Cleo (the mother) is not another pet of the owner. She is in fact being fostered by the person who kindly took in an already pregnant dog so she would have a safe place to give birth. Using the adoption fee towards having the mother spayed and covering her medical expenses makes sense, since she and the babies came together and they are in fact all available for adoption.

You can see Cleo's adoption thread here:

There is no profit to be made from fostering. Rather, it is something people do because they care. Very Happy

I met the foster mom girl yesterday (she never posted her name so i'm not sure if she wants me to say her name here) and saw the puppy that I will adopt, CLEAR

she is freaking adorable. the smallest one but the one who is already smart enough to SIT when trying to get a treat hahahaha genius girl

and what's great was that she was playing with my gf, and then ran over to the potty blanket thingy and took a pee. and then ran back to be played with

signs of a keeper lolol

a little scared of men though haha but i'm sure that'll change soon ^^

picking her up saturday afternoon!!!!!! these guys are absolutely adorable hahaha

I hope everyone adopting has looked at their countries entrance regulations for pets and are putting back money to ship these dogs home.
Please don't adopt to get a temporary pet just to re-home it when your time in Korea is done.

Ah, I understand now. These fees are going back towards a rescue agency and not the "seller?" Fair enough. Smile

So what's what the word on their medical care? What have and haven't they been treated and checked for?

Their mother is actually a dog that I'm fostering. She doesn't belong to me. I want to get her heartworms taken care of so that she will be more adoptable.


As for the puppies' shots and sterilization, they haven't had them done yet. The puppies are still too young to be spayed/neutered in Korea. I think they will be ready for it once they are 6 months old. As for vaccinations, that will be left for the potential adopters to take care of =)\


Btw, sorry it took me a while to reply. I didn't realize there was a second page...haha^^;;

You-ll have to go to the link the OP posted and fill out a three page adoption application first.
