Hi Matthew,


I am heading to the shelter Sunday for Boston's adoption meeting. I am wondering, if you are there between now and then, and can possibly get your hands on a measuring tape... Could you get the measurements of the Shids we'd like to get to the States? I'll need in cm from toe to head, from toe to top of shoulders, from base of tail to base of neck, and end of tail to head. So 4 measurements. If you can get these, awesome! If not, it's ok ^^ I can on Sunday : ) Do you have photos of each of the pups, with their names to help me ID them? Thanks Matthew!

Donna, Matt, And Ms. Alvarez,

All sounds good. We must first inform KAPS' Dog Shelter Manager that theses dogs will go to the US, which I have asked that Matthew do in person. I think it will make things more clear. He will discuss with her which third dog is the best dog to also make the trip. Once all is ironed out with the shelter manager, we can then book the flight. I am asking a volunteer with legal experience to draw up the relinquishment forms, and we will require them from Fur Angels once they are ready.

The dogs have not received any vaccinations. KAPS relies entirely on donations. Being that Korea is sadly a country that does not understand animal welfare, their funding is quite low. As such, KAPS can only provide basic care to their many animals. Jojo and Red have been at KAPS for some time, indicating they are quite healthy and able to make the flight. The third pup selected by Matthew and the shelter manager must also be in good condition and have been at KAPS for some time to ensure his/her health.

Dogs imported to the US must receive a rabies vaccination 30 days prior to flight, however, there is a form on that page we can opt to do which will allow them to fly without having received it. If we opt to do this, then the form must be completed by Fur Angels. If we opt to have them first receive their rabies, then we must wait the 30 days and we would require that this cost also be covered.

Finally, after speaking again with Pet Airlines, our courier service, the cost is 1,100,000won plus the cost of two crate which is 140,000. The third crate, they are donating to us. The total then is 1,240,000won, which as of today is 1,103 USD. This cost does not include rabies, which I believe to be about 20,000won per shot.

Once Matthew discussed with KAPS shelter manager about the dogs flying to the States, I will email them to reconfirm and ask how they prefer to organize reimbursement for the flight. They do have a PayPal account, so that may be the easiest option.

Please let us know how you would like to proceed. Thank you,

Katelin at KAPS
