The Underdogs of the Rescue World

March 9, 2021 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager 1 Comment

Working within the world of dog rescue we often see and hear the stigma associated with adoption, especially for meat farm rescues. They say shelter dogs are ‘broken’; They have deeply rooted trauma and behavior issues beyond the help of rehabilitation; They are past their prime years and cannot be trained. The list goes on.

February 12, 2021 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

December 25, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Another year has gone by, feeling simultaneously fast and slow. Last year, we boldly announced our ambitious hopes and dreams for 2020.

So, You Want to Shut Down a Dog Meat Farm?

December 4, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

We wish it was as simple as saving all the dogs and finding them forever homes. But in truth, it’s a scramble to put many puzzle pieces together to make the endeavor a successful one. It’s the reason it took us 2 years to prepare for it, and why we’re still talking about it 2 …Read More about So, You Want to Shut Down a Dog Meat Farm?

The Dogs of the Yangpyung City Pound

November 20, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

In an industrial like building there are rows upon rows of kennels and the sounds of loud barking echoing through. As you walk down each aisle, scurrying little feet follow you along, begging for pets and starving for attention. These are the residents of the Yangpyung Pound – a high kill city shelter.

Scarlet was among the 69 dogs who were rescued from the Dangjin dog meat farm in 2018. She was found in a filthy, rusted cage by herself with patches of fur, itchy skin, and had obviously had a litter not long ago, although they were nowhere to be found on the farm.

The Charley Diaries Part 3: Expanding Horizons

October 23, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Training a dog to get settled is not something that happens overnight, because dogs don’t understand human languages or the circumstances of the fate we’ve chosen for them. Settling in takes time and patience. The process isn’t black or white, nor is progress linear. There is no ‘typical’ timeline in which things are expected to …Read More about The Charley Diaries Part 3: Expanding Horizons
