Woody is an Asan shelter dog in foster care in Ansan.
UPDATE! Woody has moved to his new foster home in Ansan. You can still email me if you'd like to meet him though (I'll post his new foster mum's email when I get the OK from her)
Woody is a cool dude. He's very friendly and confident with new people, old people, big dogs and small dogs. I think he'd be fine with cats too, I've seen cats a few times when we've been out walking but he's always been too away with the fairies to notice them. He's a bit of a day dreamer. He likes to sit and gaze at himself in the mirror. He's not very interested in toys though they seem to be growing on him. He is very interested in towels though. He's collected a few in his crate to make his bed extra comfy. He thinks plastic bags are crazy-exciting and likes to show how happy his by trotting round in circles with a silly grin on his face.
He's mostly really well behaved. He hardly ever barks - not when people make noise outside, not when we have visitors and not when I leave for school. He'll sometimes yap once when he's excited or playing but he can easily be calmed down. He is a man dog though and this comes with manly habbits like marking and smelling like a man. I'll be getting him desexed ASAP so hopefully all that will stop. He's good on the lead, good getting baths, knows what 'no' means and will put up with having his lovely hair brushed.
He's not the brightest of fellows but he's almost mastered 'sit' (and really, who needs brains when you're as cute as Woody is?)
I think he's about 4 years old but I will get the vet to double check when I take him in for his vaccinations in the next couple of days. He's a little dog, maybe a bit more than 4kgs and very compact. He hardly sheds at all even though he's a fluff ball and has no obvious health problems.
There are lot's of lovely pictures of Woody, taken by Asan's wonderful photographer Hamish, here: https://www.facebook.com/villainymusic?sk=friendactivity#!/media/set/?se...
If you'd like to meet Woody then please email me and we'll arrange a time for you to meet him!

They both have the same info, the only thing that I can tell that is different is the age that they have Woody set at. Maybe contact both posters and ask them what they think.

This one is much more detailed and reflects Woody's current status (in foster care) so I think it should stay. I didn't realize Woody was a Pomeranian, though? If he's the same dog I remember, I walked him once and he was incredibly friendly and human-oriented. I really hope he is the same dog and that the wonderful angel I remember really is in foster care! I'm so glad he's out of the shelter.

I'm fostering Woody now and wanted to be able to keep the info on him up to date so I made a new profile for him (sorry Karen, I probably should have emailed you to let you know). This is the same Woody who was in Asan - he says 'hi!' red dog :)
