Couples and pets

[hsm84]

Hello! I am looking to teach in South Korea in August or September and am having trouble finding information regarding a couple things. First of all, my boyfriend and I are both interested in teaching. We would like to live together and work at the same school- does this seem like a possibility? Also, we have a rather large 2-year-old bloodhound who is our baby. He wants to come, too! Do some apartments allow dogs? I already looked into Korea's laws of bringing pets, but can't seem to find anything on ESL websites. Thanks so much!! :D

Bringing a dog is not against any rules. The living space in Korea will likely be smaller than what you're used to, but since he's part of the family, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Some apartments migt have rules against dogs, but I think it would be more of a noise concern, as compared to damage or allergies. People carry dogs anywhere here, and the buildings are solid concrete, so little chance of much damage.

Hope this helps!
