The Underdogs of the Rescue World

March 9, 2021 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager 1 Comment

Working within the world of dog rescue we often see and hear the stigma associated with adoption, especially for meat farm rescues.

Most who follow the dog meat trade (abolishment)movement are familiar with the typical scene – rows upon rows of dogs in rusted metal cages surrounded by feces and other unrecognizable waste littered all around the area.

The Charley Diaries Part 3: Expanding Horizons

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

Training a dog to get settled is not something that happens overnight, because dogs don’t understand human languages or the circumstances of the fate we’ve chosen for them. 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
