I will list the expected expenses below and post regular updates to let you know what has been covered. Thank you so much!
The expense list does not include vet care which varies from month to month, but averages to about 200,000 including basics such as vaccinations, immunity tests, heartworm preventatives, and other minor care. Neutering of new male dogs or any major treatment or surgery is not included in this average.

I just want to give a quick update on how things are going at Daejeon Paws this summer. As some of you might remember, the roof was repaired last summer during the rainy season, and thankfully, it's holding up well this year! Things are going well, and thanks to fundraisers by the Awkward Turtle theater troupe, Dulwich College in Seoul, and Gringo's Mexican restaurant, the costs of running the shelter over the past few months have been much easier to meet. The shelter is run entirely on donations, and there are now a few regular monthly donors who are covering about half the basic expenses. This month, 540,000 won is already covered, and another 525,000 is needed. If you would like to help, please check out the event and join the "Friends of Daejeon Paws" Facebook group. Thank you so much!!

Thanks to several donations, only 210,000 won (about 200 US dollars) is still needed this month to cover the cost of utilities and vet bills. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far!

How did the summer fundraising go? Did Daejeon Paws meet its goals?
Since this event says "August" in the title, I've moved it to the Thank You section. If there's a new list of winter expenses, please feel to post again!
