Two weekends ago a wonderful young couple came to the shelter to meet Addy. They spent many hours with him trying to gain his trust and with just a bit of cheese, Addy decided he was SURE he had found his home.
Last week, the couple came back to pick him up to take him home to his forever wonderful home. To christen the new life, they gave him a new name, Yogi.
We all want to thank everyone who shared Yogi's profile to help get him noticed. We are also so thankful to his wonderful family who came to meet him and give him a chance knowing that he had not had much human interaction.

The first pup I loved on at the shelter was Addy. He sat on my lap and posed for photos. Now, he will just stand at my feet looking up with sweet, sad eyes, but when I bend down to pick him up he is terrified. There is little to no human contact for some of these beautiful souls at the shelter. Please, if you have the space and time, please consider fostering Addy. He needs out of the shelter life desperately. He was just not made to come out of it sanely if he is left too long.

Addy urgently needs out of the shelter!
He is a three-month old puppy who came to the shelter with his 7 brothers and sisters. Last week, 6 of the puppies were pulled to receive treatment for whipworm, campylobacter and medication to help breakdown the chicken bones that were in their tummies and not digesting well. We did'nt have enough volunteers to pull all the puppies, so Addy was left behind since his tummy was not as severely distended as the others.
When we returned this week, Addy's personality had completely changed. He had had no human interaction for one week, and these are very important times in a puppies life. This is when they discover what they will like and dislike, what they will be scared of and what they will have no fear of. When we went to pick him up, he ran and ran and ran from us. When I finally got him to put a colored collar on him, he was so terrified that he wee'ed all over me and screamed bloody murder. He was so scared of people. He needs to be pulled immediately from that shelter and go into foster care before it is too late for him and people become enemy #1 in his book.
Please, if you are able to help foster this baby or eve adopt, shoot me an email at [email protected].
The Fostering/Adoption application can be found here: http://www.animalrescuekorea.org/adoption-application. Fill it out completely and return it to me via email.
Spread the word if you are unable to foster/ adopt. He needs help QUICK! I miss the sweet, lovable Addy!

Oh no! I'd love to foster, but I need a dog that doesn't bark. Does he bark?

He is very quiet at the shelter. if u are looking to foster a puppy... the long chuseok weekend may be a good idea. then you have three days to work hard on you walking out the door and coming back in with treats.

He sounds like such a sweet and lovable boy. I hope his adoption goes well. Otherwise, I might have to think about taking him home myself!
