Time flies when you’re busy, and boy have our 101 rescues kept us busy!

March 24, 2022 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Winter Shelter Preparations

December 21, 2021 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Another year, another winter. While we switch our furnaces from cool to warm, put away our tee shirts and shorts and bring out the winter coats and boots, winter preparations look much different for our shelters in Korea. Unfortunately, they don’t have the luxury of a furnace, or even solid walls for that matter. Winters …Read More about Winter Shelter Preparations

Pickle’s Holiday Wish

November 29, 2021 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Pickle found herself in quite a pickle when she was only 6 months old, although none of the ordeals was her fault. It’s a shame dogs don’t get to choose their owners, because Pickle had the unfortunate luck of having a sinister and abusive owner. One day, she was witnessed being beaten and tossed out …Read More about Pickle’s Holiday Wish

The Beginning of a New Start … For Good!

September 30, 2021 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

We say it all the time – rescue is simultaneously fulfilling and inspiring as it is disheartening and traumatic. Earlier this year, we shared a rescue story of a few dogs who were being raised on a construction site to be sold for meat as a secondary income, and the efforts made to save them.
