[PyrNet-L] Re: Dog parents to Korea

[Norjet@aol.com]

Pam,
     I sure don't blame them for not wanting to take the dog to Korea as my 
husband was there when he was in the Army.  He, however, has nixed the idea 
of a foster Pyr for 18 months as he says he would not want to give it back.  
It would be a nice thing to do for someone, but my suggestion is to find a 
sanctuary that would keep it as long as it were sponsored.  I have a friend 
in Asheville, NC with a nice Sanctuary that as long as the dog were sponsored 
would do it I am sure.  It is called Peaceable Kingdom and she had help 
setting up by the people at Best Friends out west.  The URL is 
http://www.peaceable-kingdom.org/
Have your friend contact Karen Koontz through her website and ask her.
