Hi there,
as usual, I am looking for new homes for abandoned and lost animals...We recently took 3 puppies to my vet, but many Korean people think they are too big for them. So we are trying with foreigners who might lean toward bigger dogs.
Have a look at http://www.lonelylifetime.com/listings/index.php4?method=showhtmllist&list=classifiedscategory&rollid=16&fromfromlist=classifiedscategory&fromfrommethod=showhtmllist&clearoff=1
Thanks!

"but Korean people think they are too big for them (except to eat)"

you've only spoken to ahjusshis or ahjoomas? what makes you think foreigners would take better care of these animals? most of the foreigners I know took pets in only to sell them back after a year or two because they were going back to their own countries.

don't get me wrong, I know you're trying to do a good thing... and you are but watch what you say please... its kind of offensive to some people.

I took my Lady in last year because a foreign couple decided to lock her in the bathroom and move out. The landlord found her barely alive with no water or food after a few days.

rather than looking for 'foreigners'... how about looking for people in general who would like to give their love and affection for a very long time.

i think sungmin has a good point....good not to generalize. lots of koreans would probably gladly take in a big dog, but most don't have the room.

good luck finding homes for those pups! they're cuuuuute!

Yeah...well consider the space ratio here. My gf's family has 2 medium sized dogs, but they also occupy a whole floor of their apartment building, and have several terraces. Do most people have this kind of luxury? I get upset evry time I look out the window at my school and see 2 full grown golden retreivers and a springer spaniel fighting for space on a little balcony at the house across the street.

Oh my god, I am really sincerely sorry!
I really didn't mean to offend anyone and I know the space is an issue here.
Plus, I worked in Canadian shelters for 4 years and I know foreigners are terrible too. I had very bad experiences with "us" here as well.
The thing is that the only offers we had so far were indeed for dog meat...So I guess I was a little upset, but shouldn't have written that. They were indeed Ajimas and agashis....

Don't get me wrong, we do adopt to Koreans (I have a lot of Korean rescuer friends as well) ! So I guess we just didn't have luck this time.

Please accept my sincere apologies for that offending overgeneralized comment. Be assured that I didn't mean it and to prove I'm sincere, I just edited the whole thing.

Thank you for helping me not overgeneralizing and keeping an objective eye on the whole situation.

Not to me, it is the truth.

sk... the only thing you're ever going to conquer is the tip of your dick. I really don't give a shit what people like you say... so stop sucking on your own dick.
