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 are a difficult and dreadful time for shelter dogs, but we do our best to make the situation as comfortable as possible.

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. In other cases, they are kept in display cages outside the restaurant they would ultimately be slaughtered at the hands of once a customer personally selects them to be the main ingredient of their next meal.
