I received this from my friend Tim, who runs Animal Rescue Korea in Seoul, and thought I would post it for those of you living in Korea:
As many of you would know, the Daejeon shelter is finally closing and we have to move Mrs Jung's dogs to another location. In addition, the other shelter we help regularly with adoptions and fostering (the Samsong shelter in Ilsan) is also being evicted by their landlord.
We have secured some land in Yangju (north of Seoul) and we will be moving the remaining 75 dogs from Daejeon and 230 dogs (and 20 cats) from Ilsan to Yangju in late November.
This will be an expensive exercise (we estimate it will cost around 10 million won to move all 300 dogs and another 10 million won to construct a basic shelter for them on the new land) so to help us finance the move we will be holding our third shelter fundraiser on Friday next week (the 7th of November) at Stompers Bar in Itaewon (up the Itaewon Hill, next to Polly's Kettle). Attached is a flyer for the event with more information (and for anyone who might care to print some out and put them up somewhere in your area :)
The night starts at 7.30pm - music stars from 9.30pm: bands The Pines and Firefly will be playing, as will Ryan Warner and comedian Brian Aylward.
There will be great raffle prizes on the night, including a DVD player, an MP3 player, a 100,000 won dinner voucher from Sortinos Italian restaurant (and heaps of other stuff).
For anyone who hasn't see either of the shelters (or hasn't visited lately) please see the below pictures and videos from the Animal Rescue Korea website:
