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.
