Chicken Farm Dogs

Looking for Flight Volunteers

April 19, 2016 by EK Park, Executive Director 1 Comment

If you are flying from Korea to Toronto or Chicago, or any cities in North America with direct flight, you could save precious lives of dogs rescued from dog meat farms in Korea.

Although these dogs are rescued from the hell, many of them die in a shelter because of the stigma as a “meat or farm” dog. It is so sad and heartbreaking.

While I’m in Korea shooting my documentary, Compassion Soup: the End of Dog Meat in Korea, I’m also working very hard to find homes for the Chicken Farm Dogs at Gin Oak Shelter and also the dogs at Wizard of Hope Animal Shelter (WOH). At the moment, there are 10 dogs, mostly Jindo mix, at Gin Oak shelter and 32 dogs (half of them are small breeds) at WOH.

Meet These Adorable Rescue Dogs in Korea

April 5, 2016 by EK Park, Executive Director Leave a Comment

Each year over two million dogs are slaughtered by Korea’s unregulated dog meat industry often after enduring unbearable suffering. Especially during Bok-Nal through July and August, two-third of dogs are killed for Boshintang (dog meat soup). It is because many Koreans believe that Boshintang boosts their stamina and energy. That’s why it is often called …Read More about Meet These Adorable Rescue Dogs in Korea

Foster a Rescue Dog in Korea

November 11, 2015 by EK Park, Executive Director 6 Comments

What do you have to know before fostering a rescue dog in Korea? Dale, a foster parent originally from Alabama in the US, is sharing her experience in fostering a dog rescued from the meat trade in Korea. Dales says that a lot of people have romanticized the idea of fostering and adopting. But you really have to consider it before you just go and adopt a pet.

Meet the Happiest Chicken Farm Dog

October 28, 2015 by EK Park, Executive Director Leave a Comment

Who could imagine that Swayze was a dog raised for his meat until six months ago in Korea? But now he is the happiest chicken farm dog in the world. Swayze is an one year old dog living in Seoul who has his own bed, countless toys, and the most beautiful mama. Born in Ilsan outside Seoul, Swayze was one of the twenty dogs raised for their meat by a neglected chicken farm owner.

Adopt the Most Affectionate Dog, Bella

October 23, 2015 by EK Park, Executive Director 1 Comment

Bella is one of the most popular dogs from the Gin Oak shelter both to volunteers and shelter dogs. She is an one year old female dog rescued by Jinoak last spring in Korea. I asked Jinaok to tell me everything about Bella. She says that Bella is a happy virus: she makes people and even dogs laugh and happy. Bella is the most affectionate, loving dog who is more than ready for her forever home. Who will be the lucky person?

The Gin Oak Shelter in Korea

September 9, 2015 by EK Park, Executive Director Leave a Comment

The current shelter is not yet completed and also a year leased temporary one. Jinoak has to return the land and remove the shelter after a year. That’s why it is so important for us to find forever homes for the chicken farm dogs. Let’s help the chicken farm dogs to find their forever homes so they know they are not left alone.

This is the story of Jinoak Oh from South Korea who is trying to save chicken farm dogs from being sold into the dog meat market.

International Adoption Plan

July 1, 2015 by Greg Mount 8 Comments

This is the third pillar in our three-part strategy to free Korean dogs. We are establishing an international adoption program to provide forever homes for dogs rescued from the Korean dog meat trade. This plan relies on massive collaboration, both in Korea and around the world. There are many ways for you to get involved and help give these innocent dogs the loving homes they deserve.
