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

THE DOGS OF THE YANGPYUNG CITY POUND

November 20, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Director & 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.

The Charley Diaries Part 3: Expanding Horizons

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

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
