Yongin Dog Meat Rescue Update 1

May 18, 2021 by EK Park, Executive Director Leave a Comment

Since we rescued and took custody of the 15 dogs from a restaurant in Yongin, Korea where they were destined to be handpicked for slaughter whenever a patron ordered fresh (dog) meat soup off the menu. They were kept in small, filthy cages on the property behind the restaurant, strategically positioned away from public eyes despite being known in town for selling dog meat.


Today, all 15 dogs are currently staying at our partner boarding house and we are happy to report they continue to do well while enjoying their new found freedom. 8 dogs were recently deemed healthy enough to undergo their spay/neuter surgeries, with another 6 dogs scheduled to receive their surgeries during the last weekend of the month.
