Dangjin Dog Meat Farm

A Life is a Life, and One Worth Saving

January 13, 2023 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Is rescue about saving as many lives as possible, or trying to help those who need it the most? Should it be about quantity or quality? This question is difficult to answer, but in short, it depends on our capacity at any given time.

A Message from Our Founder, From the Frontlines of Korea

October 31, 2022 by EK Park, Executive Director Leave a Comment

It has been 3 weeks since I arrived in Korea to continue our work from our latest dog meat farm shutdown. Since arriving, I have been busy working at our partner shelters and visiting our dogs at the shelters and training schools. I am taking the opportunity to not only lend a helping hand, but to listen to the shelter managers – their concerns, frustrations, what our dogs need, and how we can do better.

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

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

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 years later.

Scarlet Leaves Her Scars Behind For Her Forever Home

November 5, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

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.

An Update On Our Dosa Dog Meat Rescues!

September 2, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

On August 7th, 2020 Free Korean Dogs answered a call for help to rescue 6 Dosa dogs who would have either drowned in the recent floods or slaughtered for a celebratory meal during the last day of Boknal. Our rescue was a success, and we’ve taken the last few weeks to address their medical needs and get to know our newest friends.

Our Search For Our Perfect Puppers

June 17, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

From the day I was born, there was always a dog in my life. I’d never had one of my very own, though – they were always “the family dog”. When my boyfriend and I moved in together, I brought up the topic of us getting a dog. He was never a “dog person”, so the conversation continued for at least a year until he finally agreed that we could get a dog. I had known for years that my first dog would be a rescue. The dogs my family had were always purebred and from a breeder, but I knew that I wanted to open my heart to a dog who was in need of a safe, loving home.

We are the change we seek

December 31, 2019 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

With a new year comes new resolutions, and we have big goals on the horizon. Four and a half years ago, we would have never imagined we would be where we are today. Before Free Korean Dogs (FKD) was established, our founder and executive director EK never thought she would lead, much less institute an organization devoted to international rescue.

An Inside Look: Shutting Down the Dangjin Dog Meat Farm

On September 1, 2018, Free Korean Dogs officially took possession of a dog meat farm operation in Dangjin, Korea and rescued 69 dogs from slaughter. The journey has simultaneously been an uphill battle and a rollercoaster ride, although we continue to soldier forward without looking back.
