Floyd

Update (June 8): Floyd went home with his wonderful new family this morning!

Update (May 22): Exciting news for Floyd! This special guy could be heading to his forever home very soon!

Update (April 21): Floyd had a fun-filled day today!
First stop was the vet for a quick check-up. This new vet said there is NO way that Floyd is a senior dog. He did a thorough eye and teeth check and said he's probably around 5 years old. That is much more in line with how he acts and looks!

Next stop was a nearby dog cafe where Floyd had a blast socializing and playing around with the other pups, big and small. He even stiffed around the resident mini pig trying to convince it to play ^^ This is the first time we've been able to let Floyd romp around on his own with other dogs, and we were so happy to see how nicely he behaved with his new friends!

Consider bringing this sweet, loving boy into your home!

Update (April 1): Floyd is doing wonderfully in his foster home, but he is still looking for his forever family!

Check out Floyd trotting along on a walk and showing off his hand-shake skills!

Update (January 15): Floyd is doing great in his foster home :) He was always meant to be a part of someone's family.

Update (November 7): Just got an update on Floyd. I just knew this wonderful boy would do great in a home. So far he has had NO accidents in the house, and is so gentle, and has transitioned beautifully and is perfectly natural in a home. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it from the first time I met him, he must've been someone's pet at one point. I am so happy he's doing well in his foster home and his foster parents already love him :) :) :)

Update (November 3): Floyd went home with his foster parents today, yippiiieeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update (October 30): Floyd is one step closer to getting adopted into a forever home. He has a foster home lined up, they are a wonderful couple who will pick him up this Saturday! So happy for this wonderful boy :) :) :)

Update (October 21): Arghhh, it's just so sad that Floyd is still at the shelter! He is so perfect! In fact, some volunteers met him for the first time, and within the first 30 seconds of being with him, said that he would be so easy to adopt, and he would transition so well. It only took 30 seconds! He really is so deserving of a home, and he would be so easy to bring home :D

Update (September 29th): I am really, really pushing for a foster or adopter for this amazing guy. He is one of those dogs that I just know will transition beautifully into a home. Please consider taking him home and giving him a chance to show how wonderful he is. I'm hoping we will be able to walk the dogs again so I can get a video of how wonderful he is with people, other dogs, and on leash.

Update (September 28th): Floyd wants YOU! To be his forever family. Floyd really is one of the most adoptable dogs at this shelter. He knows simple commands, walks well on a leash, is not a barker, is very gentle even when he jumps up to put his paws on you, and just has the best personality.

Update (August 22nd): The past Saturday, our task was to put collars (with the dogs' names) on each dog. Obviously, this was a bit of a task with a lot of them as they're quite shy. But Floyd was super happy to see the collar and sat like a good boy for me to put it on; I felt so bad. I think he thought he was going out for a walk. He is such a sweet dog and gets along with everyone. He even foregoes treats in favour or human affection. Please consider adding him to your family; I believe he would make a perfect family pet :)

Update (July 21st): Poor Floyd, still waiting for a human to call his own. He is the most amazing, sweetest dog - why is he still living in a shelter? He deserves so much more.

Update (July 8th): Floyd is still waiting for someone to take him home and show off what a wonderful dog he is. He is such a good boy, I don't think I have ever heard him bark. He loves to give kisses and he will stand up and put his paws on your tummy, but very gently, so he doesn't scratch you by accident. Even though he is very sad noone has adopted him so he can shower them with kisses, he maintains his beautiful and positive spirit, day after day.

From my first visit to Yangju, Floyd caught my eye - he has such soulful eyes. He shares his kennel with a pudgy Jindo who is friendly enough to humans and well-behaved when I am in the kennel, but when left alone with Floyd, he bullies him. I often find Floyd hiding in his doghouse, but he has learned to recognize me and will eagerly paw at me to pick him up and give him some well-deserved love. He even ignores treats, in favour of some human affection. I walked Floyd once, and he was so good on the leash, and when we ran into the other volunteers, he sat in front of them, and nudged at them to give him a pat on the head. He really loves people, and was very good when passing by other dogs, he was never the one to show aggression. I think Floyd would do well with another dog that is not too dominant. Please consider giving this lovely boy a forever home :)
