Breaking: Dogs who were raised for meat arrive in the U.S. to find homes
Nara Kim, campaign manager of HSI Korea, gently comforts a dog during the rescue operation at a former dog meat farm in Yongin, South Korea. Jean Chung
Early this morning, 171 dogs from South Korean dog meat farms landed at Dulles International Airport to start new lives, and on this first day of their bright futures, I am reminded of how critical our day-to-day work is.
Every time Humane Society International shuts down a dog meat farm it has a reverberating positive impact even beyond those dogs being rescued. But this work is also extremely difficult, especially in the time of COVID-19. That our rescuers figured out how to close farms and save these dogs during a global pandemic, on top of the usual difficulties — witnessing of the realities at the dog meat farms of South Korea — is nothing short of extraordinary.
Rows and rows of wire cages, containing dog after dog after dog. Those who are strong enough, stand up and wag their tails whenever anyone walks by; those who aren’t remain huddled in the corners of their cages, skeletal and starving. These are just some of the memories that comes back to me from the times I’ve been at these farms. Beyond the visual memories — and perhaps more haunting — is what I have heard: Silence punctured by whimpers and intermittent barks, almost shrill with need, yet somehow, at the same time, hopeless, as if the dogs calling out know they have nothing to do but wait for their short lives to be over, slumped against the wire walls of their cages. Memories like these aren’t easy for our rescuers to bear, no matter how many dogs we rescue from the dog meat trade.
Working with our remarkable Korean partners to end the practice of dog farming in South Korea is not just saving lives, but also helping to bring dogs into view as loving and loyal companions, while giving willing farmers alternative ways to make a living. Korean dog farmers who want to leave the dog meat industry work with HSI to coordinate the rescue of dogs they raised and transition to more humane and profitable livelihoods. It’s a particularly powerful moment when the emptied cages are demolished, ensuring that no animals will suffer on the farms again and signaling a new future for the farmers. Plus, there’s a growing movement within the country to see former meat farm dogs as adoptable.
Rescuing dogs from the dog meat trade is, of course, complicated in the time of a pandemic. All the farm closures were conducted under COVID-19 health and safety restrictions. A veterinarian tests the dogs for the H3N2 virus (“canine influenza”) and the dogs also get vaccinated for a range of diseases. HSI then quarantines the dogs for at least 30 days before their flight.
As today marks the start of whole new lives for our 171 survivors of the dog meat trade, I feel hope knowing that they all were saved from painful slaughter and certain death. I know that each one of those caged dogs has the potential to be the loving, caring member of the family that my dog, Lilly, is. And soon they will have that opportunity.
First, the pups rest and recover at our temporary shelter site in Maryland where they will receive veterinary care, assessment and rehabilitation before placing them with our shelter and rescue partners, who will place them in loving homes in the U.S. and Canada.
It’s a really good day for these dogs and for people who care about making the world a kinder, more humane place. There’s a moment from some of the footage shot during the recent dog farm rescue that now sticks in my memory as a symbol of hope and progress. A wire door of a dog’s cage opens, and one of our rescuers climbs inside. She sits with the dog, stroking his head and ears, telling him that it’s all going to be alright, that the worst is over. And once the dog has calmed down enough, she coaxes the dog out of the cage, which is the only world these dogs have ever known — until now.
No podemos permitir qué más cosas así sigan pasando tenemos que hacerla vos por los animalitos que tienen que pasar por esto
Amen!!!
God bless there hearts for the unselfish care they all show in saving these poor furbabies to give them a life they can flourshish in the USA.

Praise Jesus these dogs were rescued. Do it again Lord until no dog remains in danger! Do it again!
They need to eat more carrots. Dogs are for love not food.
Wow, this is great rescuing these defenseless animals. God gave us dogs to be our loyal, loving companions and NOT for food. Thank everyone for saving these beloved dogs. Hopefully ALL of them can be rescued including cats.
Thank you for your work. These dogs are free and I’m happy to think they are living a new life with love and care
God bless the Humane societies all over the globe. Please people don’t buy dogs from breeders , pet shops…go to the shelters and adopt from them.
I’m 70 years old. Always had dogs.
They are the most loving sweet animals. I’d rather pay for the adoption fee than give the money to breeders and pet shops.
Plus you are doing a wonderful
Agency
Since the pandemic and the fires and storms in the US,
shelters will have what your looking for.
And if you can’t adopt. Don’t food money, towels, blankets etc
I want to adopt one of these dogs. What do I do?
I want to as well
What do we do?
This needs to stop. There are plenty of dogs in US needing homes.
There are thousands of dogs euthanized every day in America! I pray that we can stop this nonsense from happening here.
Yes! Please shut down the horrific dog and cat meat trade!!!!!
I can’t believe those things still happen, this makes me cry, I’m a dog owner and I can’t imagen my dog going through all this….thats horrible.
THANKS FOR RESCUING ALL THE DOGS
Shut it down….forever!
Amazing
Great article!! Sad and happy for men’s best friends story!! Where are they going to be sent at and how could we adopt them? Thank you!
Thank you for your hard work and helping those dogs.
I heard South Korea stopped eating dogs, I was overjoyed to hear that. I was born there but adopted, so I didn’t know about everything. I did some research on South Korea and the culture. When I read about the food I saw that you ate dogs I got upset. I’m so happy our people don’t eat them anymore. I’m proud to be a South Korean
You wonderful humans doing god work, you are blessed for eternity. Thank you from the bottom of 💙
These people are angels!!!
Such wonderful news that the organization has rescued the 171 dogs from South Korea and that they are going to be treated with loving care so that they can be adopted to families that will give them love and forever homes!
Is this something the US really needs to do? I’m not saying the animals are important but with so many homeless people and stay animals in the United States already why would we spend the resources to bring more animals here? Shouldn’t we take care of what we already have first?
They do this by donations. There are many charities already in place that go toward the homeless and veterans.
Thank you all who work so hard to close down these dog meat farms. The hard work means so much truly. Thank god for people who are willing to go out of their way to save these animals. I just love dogs so much. The job of saving these animals is greatly appreciated by animal lovers everywhere.
This breaks my hearts they look so afraid no animal deserves this makes me happy knowing they’re freed and saved!!! May they all go to loving homes 🙏🏻
How do you adopt one?
Thank you Lord God for the kind people who rescued these sweet babies!!? This made me smile today.
As heartbreaking as it is to hear their beginning, it warms my heart knowing that they’re going to go to forever homes and get to be what God created them for man’s best friend. Thank you to all involved in their rescue!!!!
Thank God you were able to rescue those dogs. Even better to shut them down. Its discussing to think about.
Thank you
It’s about time this practice is stopped animals have been our companions for centuries and the meat trade is awful education and rehabilitation is a must I contribute to the HSUS and hope more are saved
Meanwhile, at every farm and slaughterhouse in the USA. If only every chicken, duck, cow, pig, lamb, ect was a DOG.
This.
Beautiful innocent dogs. Now a new chance of a better life makes me cry.i hope they all get a good home which I know they will welcome to America little buddies
Thank you for the hard work you all do to keep these precious animals safe from harm. Hopefully we will get to a place where animals will live free from suffering at the hands of humans. It’s people like this that make that dream feel closer to a reality.
Omg that looked like a machine for torture!! Thank goodness these sweet babies were saved! 🙏
I want one of these dogs. How can I adopt one
This is the most horrific thing that can be done.Where is god??these people have no sense of compassion. I give to the humane society. But I fear this is not enough.Thank u so much for trying to save as many as possible 🙏🤞❤️
THANK YOU FOR BEING THE LIGHT💫 IN THEIR DARKNESS💜
Thank you beyond words you are an amazing person saving all those animals I wish I could help you I would donate all my time to help. My name is Marc Burnstein. I don’t have a lot of money but I have a lot of time and I love animals especially dogs but all animals so thank you very much please let me know what I can do to help if there’s any
THANKYOU YOU ALL FOR GIVING LIFE AND HOPE FOR ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL DOGS!!!!❤I HAVE HAD A DOG SINCE I WAS VERY LITTLE GIRL. IM 63 YRS NOW. I CANT EVEN WATCH THE TV WHEN ANIMALS ARE TREATED SO CRUEL!!! ITS INSANE, NO PEOPLE DOING THIS IS HUMAN. I HAVE A RESCUE SHE WAS LEFT WITH HER MOM AND SIBLINGS TO DIE IN ABANDONED DRUG HOUSE. I LOVE DOGS, THEY ARE MY CHILDREN.
I am so grateful that these brave people rescue these amazing Dogs I hope there are more dogs rescued and that more people see that this is so wrong when they look into these dogs eyes they deserve love care and compassion .
The people who rescue these dogs are angels. Closing these cruel animal farms forever and teaching the people other ways to farm. These dogs should never know pain again.
God bless all of you and there fur babies! Dog are more loving and faithful than any human I know. They want even stop to think about laying down their lives before stepping in to save yours but most people want give a thought to saving you. Which is so very sad!
My niece was able to adopt a dog from the Korean dog market two years ago. Her dog is the sweetest best behaved dog. She was scared of her own shadow when they first got her didn’t know what grass felt like, very skittish and with the love of family she has happily adjusted
That’s so great
This is so heartbreaking, I never knew there were dog farms for this. How do you close these farms and how many are there?
Thank you saving these poor dogs! They deserve so much better and now they will have a good life here with love, dignity, and joy. This work is excellent and you are to be commended! Well done.
With thanks, respect, and appreciation!
Its such a terrible thing to witness. It proves that humans of all walks of life have no compassion for animals. A dog cannot protect itself from ignorance and brutality. I love all animals and i truly am thankful for the good people that were there to save these poor defenseless dogs. Ty….
Thank you
How can one help save these poor dogs? Is there some place to send a donation so more can be saved?
Heart breaking to see this kind of thing even happening. I applaud these people rescuing these pups and I pray they all find loving homes.
Brought a tear to my eye 😢 I’m glad the dogs escaped a grizzly fate.
Thank you Nara Kim
BLESS ALL THAT MADE THE RESCUE POSSIBLE. 💙
Thank you so much for rescuing these dogs .I cant even imagine what they have gone through it breaks my heart.i pray every single dog finds a forever home where they are loved and treated right .thank you again 💓
Thank you for saving them!!!!!
I feel the pain from this story and the hope for change. Change the animals in this story to pigs. Or cows. Or chickens. I long for a future where humankind feels the same empathy for all of our fellow earthlings!
Thank you so much for rescuing these fur baby’s I pray they find there forever home that will be there best friend and give them what they deserve the good life
How do you go about adopting one of these dogs ?
I give monthly to HSI. Thank you for intervening so these dogs are not killed for meat. Thank you also that you reach out to farmers so they can make a living other than participating in this barbaric practice.
Oh, poor babies. ID like to help??
I am glad the dogs were saved. I live in silver Lake Indiana. I have 1 recused dog. Wish I could help with fostering.
I want to thank each and every one of you who had a hand in the rescue of all the dogs.. you’are all angels from heaven..I love all of you..may the white light of the holy spirit surround you and your s wherever you go..thank you..Soo much..my respect will always be yours. Lisa r carson
So happy the dogs were rescued and the dog meat farm was shut down! All of those kind of places should be shut down!!! It is wonderful that you are finding loving homes for the dogs!!
God bless every kind hearted human beings for the determination of making such a positive impact on these innocent animals. People should learn to use their heart and brain to contribute to kindness and help make the world a better place instead of doing heartless acts
I am so glad they are closing down those meat farms. They are horrible every animal should be able to live in peace and safety on God’s green earth.
I am an animal lover it breaks my heart to read these stories cause I always start crying. I have 3 cats that I rescued and i wise i can take in all these animals but i can’t. Cuz where i live. I am thankful for facilities like you. I don’t all the time. And i always say why why! They give nothing but love.
Please, please Respect the animal kingdom! Theses cages are so filthy, how could they eat the dog meat! With all thats going on lately with covid 19 and other mutants, We should be more careful what we eat!! Theses are loving pets! Not food! God gave us enough of different types of foods to eat! Stop the suffering! Please stop it, Stop it!!! Please Help them pets have a fair and happy Lives!!!!
Thank God those dogs are safe now🙏
So sad! I couldn’t imagine anything happening to my precious doggies. Glad those sweet pups were saved
Thanks for rescuing these dogs. I pray for you all kind people to be blessed and for all the dogs to have great loving homes
My heart is broken and anger that they had to live this way and at the same time filled with love that someone loved them enough to save them from this torture. Thank You.
I think it’s wonderful to rescue these dogs from a horrible death. However, we need to do more to save dogs here in the US from being euthenized in kill shelters across the country daily and crack down on dog fighting.
I realize it takes one step at a time but thousands of dogs are killed at shelters in our own country and tjey need rescuing too.
That breaks my heart! Thank God for the rescuers who were able to save the dogs! I pray for the ones that were unable to be saved!
This is the kind of stuff nightmares are made of, or at least for me! I wonder how many more farms are out there?!? I honestly pray to win the lottery so I could help get more of these dogs away from being a meal!!! Hang in there Fido, I’m still buying my lotto tickets hoping I can free you!!
Thank god that he sent you Angel’s to rescue these beautiful innocent creatures of god. God said you can tell the soul of a man by the way he treats his animals. These beautiful animals have a chance to feel real love and kindness now. Something they’ve never known and something they naturally give.
How do we donate to save these dogs.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! God Bless You All!
I Thank You So Very Much Every Day for saving these Beautiful beautiful animals ♥️🐾If I had the money for one I’d be happy to adopt one ! Yes I do have 2 extra large ones in my home now. I do what I can for the local shelter here . I don’t think people realize that this is still going on! I wish you could put it on Facebook! People do read that! ♥️🐾Saving Our Beautiful Beautiful Animals ! Yes My Heart ♥️ is Full

Thank you Korea HSI for the amazing work your team has endured to save these beautiful dogs from the meat trade and for helping those find new industries to ensure they will not go back to this barbaric trade. You are angels and I hope I am lucky enough to adopt one of these dogs one day into my family. Thank you and may God bless you all!!!
Thank you for saving the Dogs!!!! I’m so Glad there are people who care and who will rescue the dogs. I just want u to no you are appreciated
Sad when can they be adopted
Thank God you are saving these precious, loving dogs.
I want to help or donate.
What can I do?
GOD BLESS Y’ALL SO MUCH FOR THE HARD WORK YOU DO THAMK YOU ALL BLESSINGS TO YOU AND THE ANIMALS
As an American that has lived abroad i think it is very important to not look down on any country for what their diet exists of. Any way you Package it most of the animals we eat have the capacity to be a pet. With that said I would love to give one of these puppy dogs a loving home. How do we adopt??
Thank you those wonderful people who have done this great deed for those precious animals. How very inhumane people are to these creatures who can’t speak. Shameful. How can we help from our end to funnel things to this particular project in the future? Keep up the great work!
This is the saddest article I have ever read. Thank the heavens above that there is hope for these wonderful souls
I pray each and every one finds their very own loving family that will protect and love them for the rest of their lives!
🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
Bible says dogs are not for food. Neither are pigs, horses, rats, and cats, etc. Wonder what were they feeding the dogs?
Yes I feel for those dogs that has been cage for dog meat. Please save as much dogs as you can. I’m an true blue dog lover. I love them both cats and dogs. I don’t care for animal cruelty or animal abuse. For either one cats and dogs.
Thank you for saving these poor souls.
We must continue to suppot organizations that work to stop these horrific inhumane atrocities on animals. If I was as wealthy as Bill Gates I’d spend every last dollar on rescuing all abused animals around the globe and shut down the markets that perpetuate the inhumanity towards them, especially the dog meat farms. Every concerned person from around the world needs to act in some way, either monetarily and/or through advocacy. Thank you to the heroes who are rescuing them!
Please help recuse the dogs from meat markets that is so uncalled for that is sick poor dogs and cats wish I could save them
This is great to hear. Does HSI do the same for pigs? Pigs are smarter than dogs and their killing is orders of magnitude greater than for dogs.
please dont eat domistic animal. its deserve to be kissed and holding only.
stop cruelty.
So happy to hear these dog are safe and will find homes. That is heart breaking- thank you for what you do- keep up the good work! What is the contact information for people to adopt a dog?
God bless each of the rescuers for doing such a difficult job. I am a dog mom and I fall in love with every dog I meet, but I couldn’t handle seeing the dogs in cages as described. I pray that all the dogs rescued get adopted, really fast, to a truly loving family. Dogs give unconditional love to us and we should give the same in return to them.
This breaks my heart and I only wish I could help. Amazing work!
How wouldn’t someone go about adopting one of these dogs. Thanks. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dave.
It’s unbelievable there are dog farms in the world today. How sad is that! Thank you Humane Society for your job.
It’s awesome that these fur babies are being saved from human consumption but there’s another problem if anyone care about another group of fur babies, guinea pigs are being put on the plate now and that’s very alarming to me these cute fur babies are being eaten now because of some large food organizations say that it’s okay to eat these cute babies. I just want to make sure the humane society is aware of this issue. The guinea pigs will need your help soon. Everything isn’t meant to be food.
Thank you for one and two I wish I could help you guys out … Hopefully they go to loving homes … Keep up gods work …
Thank you and god bless you for such important work. Dogs are amazing, and we dont deserve them!
I live in New England. How can I adopt one of these rescued dogs? I’ve long wanted too. Thank you for being so humane and kind. I can’t fathom a country being ok with actually eating dogs.
It is horrible to think a human being could be so ruthless treating God’s little animals like this. It’s unforgivable!
I own my home. My precious pet Pomeranian! Bandit died a few years ago at age 15. I would love to have another companion come and live with me. I’m a 68 years old with a lot of love for all animals. Please let me help🐕❣️
Good Good people save all the dogs please please we love all the dogs and thank you
Like we don’t have enough stray and unwanted animals in the US. You go thru the third degree to adopt one. Then the price $$. Kennels are over run. Why ??
So the USA makes the rules for all other countries?? China boils live chicks in their eggs and calls it balut….so we slaughter animals daily…we consume many forms of meat…we eat rabbit.. squirrel..we hunt deer….I’m just not sure I understand why it’s wrong in that country to eat dog
People are going to eat what they can.
I don’t have an issue with people eating dogs.
Cows are considered holy in India.
But you don’t see people “saving” cows.
Leave those people alone.
I would take one for on our farm
How great and wonderful this organization is! Thank God for these workers,some to speak for the dogs, because they can’t. God bless all of you! I pray all of the workers and the dogs stay safe!!!
I cried watching this amazing video saving dogs life. I’m happy something good is changing! I had a doberman that saved my life from a cougar attack long time ago and I miss him. God bless these wonderful rescuers!
Thank you and God Bless all in your organization who made it possible for these precious souls to find a loving home!
Lord puts people like you among us.. Angels with hidden wings..
Thank you!! ❤
Awesome. Slaughterhouse Survivors rescue in Harbin China is also having a lot of trouble getting dogs out of China due to Covid.
My heart breaketh. I have no words but tears. Keep up the good work rescuers. God Bless you.
This breaks my heart …how can society allow this …I’m shocked that people consume animals let alone a dog ..this is disgusting and people need to stand up for the lives of these helpless beautiful babies being killed…I just can’t fathom this…😭
Sad sad
Thank you so much for saving these dogs and giving them a second chance.
God bless these organizations helping to put an end to these monsters that continue this abuse and heinous acts towards our furbabies! Wish I could take them all in! A heartfelt thank you from me!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you do for the dogs and for all you did.
This article saddens me so much, but very happy to hear you are trying to rescue these poor dogs. I would die first before eating a dog. Thanks for your hard work to save them.
This is horrifying to see animals treated this way… there such a gift from God they’re created and, they have a beating heart… I commend this woman for helping these animals… we’ve rescued a shelter animal and it’s enriched our lives so much… this has to stop! What a wicked thing to do to an animal.. I’m so glad that there are people in the world who still have some humanity❤
Burn all cages !!
How can the average citizen help the mission? I know you’re gonna respond with adoption but is there any other ways to assist
It would be great if someone could teach them tilapia farming. They get tiny fish, you feed them one time with something like dogfood. They are scavengers – eat their droppings and algae. When they are full size, drain the water and they have plenty of fish to sell or eat.
I’m glad you’re helping theses abused animals. This is a good thing they don’t deserve to be food that’s just un hygiene
Hard to believe that this happens to these innocent lives, thank God 🙏 for the rescue groups 🙏🙏🙏 Hopefully it will soon come to an end…!!!
I was just so shocked.
How is it, that something as barbaric as “Dog Farming” is actually happening anywhere on the globe?
Thank You All At HSI & HSUS.
Thank You 4 doing this work & 4 sharing with us the alarming status that the World we live in has gotten too.
God Bless You.
OMG I’m going to have nightmares. Who are the animals in this picture? Sadistic !!!!!
The hypocrisy here has no limits. I wonder how many people involved in this are vegan, because they SHOULD.
As a vegan, I see no difference in dog, pig, cattle or chicken farms. You should try and think about it.
Thank you for what y’all do!
Thank you!
carline.haga@gmail.com
You are my true heroes! I am crying, mostly from joy, seeing these now empty cages because so many dogs are on their way out of the meat farm he’ll where they had no hope or future to a new live of loving homes and families. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!’
Awww this is so sad but I’m so glad these people were there to help them and give them a better future. Until now I have been taking care of a border collie and he’s the best thing that ever happened to me.
Thank you so much for saving these poor dogs! I have a very sweet Papillon that I couldn’t imagine life without her and don’t want to! Dogs are loving and loyal it would be as if one of my children was murdered! I’m greatfull for what you are doing! All of us can help by adopting a rescue dog if given the chance! May God Bless you for the kindness!
Thank you for saving their lives. I can’t understand how people can murder this beautiful souls for meet
This is unbelievable dogs are family members They give unconditional love and are loyal to death remember dog backwards is God 🙏
Gracias por todos los rescatistas que hicieron esta hermosa labor de ayudar a estos perritos indefesos muy triste que todavia sigan pasando estas crueldad con los animalitos .
All the wonderful people involved are truly blessed. How can people from anywhere on this earth think that caging and raising dogs to eat is okay? I pray for these dogs and especially the people helping them!
I hope they get a VERY STIFF PENALTY FOR THEIR GROSS NEGLIGENT ACTIONS, UNBELIEVABLE, isn’t chicken and beef good enough.
What a wonderful outreach event, and may these dogs be able to start fresh and hopefully clear memories of those terrible days left behind. I know they will all get good loving homes that they deserve. Thanks for your compassion Humane Society International, I will always support you.
My dog Winnie is a South Korean meat farm rescue from 2017.
Our local Humane Society helped train her to get used to people, children, and other animals. She is the most loving, sweet, protective girl. We cherish her and are so grateful for the people rescuing them.
Great work!!! God bless!! Keep up the great work!!
Tears of joy fill my eyes to see that every dog will finally have happy healthy lives…my heart is so happy for each one of them.
Breaks my heart to read these stories. God bless you all for the work you do to rescue these dogs and end these horrific practices.
Bravo!
Your organization is great in my eyes!
Do you take donations?
GOD BLESS YOU A FOR SAVING GOD’S ANIMALS.❤️
Thank you for doing this worthwhile work of rescuing these dogs.
Thank you, Ms. Nara Kim. I met many Koreans who are animal lovers and may be interested to adopt them in Los Angeles. Higher Power bless Ms. Nara Kim.
So thankful for the hard work and dedication of those rescuers. It’s just incomprehension that people could treat any animal this way. So ecstatic to see these dogs are safe and will be able so find their forever homes! 😊
OMG – your article about the dogs made me cry. I have a rescue dog from a puppy mill in Georgia who I found in a rescue clinic on Tybee Island. Everyday I take Skeeter out for a walk I thank God for my loyal companion and pray 🙏for dogs and cats that are in horrible situations – I can’t thank you enough for your hard work and dedication to saving these dogs!!
Who could eat something with truly human like emotions..just aweful
I was station in South Korea, back in the late 60’s early 70’s I can not believe this existed, I am greatly shocked. I wish I had known at the time I would tried to do something
Please continue to do and grow this vital work..without it humanity is worse than animal like but actually diabolical. Thank you for all your hard unheard of work.
Thank you !
Bendiciones desde Miami Florida a Estas personas que rescatan los animalitos que tambien son creasion de DIOS.
I did not know that dogs were being raised on farms in Korea for meat. I was horrified. But I am so grateful, truly, for exceptional people like the rescue team that liberated these poor dogs from such a horrible fate and existence. I am proud of such good works as these and it revives hope in me that people will change and understand that we are the caretakers of all animals in the world. We must all do our part to help. Thank you, thank you for such good news and to see that much progress has been made in this area.
Fantastic work done by these amazing human beings! I wish we could do the same for all animals being raised for meat. Period
No animal should be caged. I am so happy for the dogs that have been rescued from the dog meat farms. Thank you HSI for the tremendous help. I appreciate your support.
People are so sick. Dogs are pets. Not food. Thank goodness there are groups that really care. At least these dogs have a better chance at a life they never knew existed.
Thank you, thank you , thank you!! The dog meat industry broke my heart. Please don’t stop until eating dogs is a thing of the past. May God Bless you in all your endeavors. You have lightened my heart today. 🙏✝️
Thank you so much for saving all of these beautiful dogs
This story is heartwarming. Kudos to all involved! You are heros! May you continue this great work of saving helpless dogs (and cats too!) From deplorable and harmful conditions.
Thank you for working to stop this, and sending them to the US for safe homes. Hopefully its not toolate to save them.
Dog is a man’s best friend in situations like this man has become dogs Worst nightmare
We adopted 2 dogs from this condition several years ago. After 3 years they are finally acting like dogs. They have been traumatized and need space to adjust. I fear many will adopt these animals only to leave them in the yard since they don’t act like the dogs you normally see. Give them space and time to get results.
Thank you for those who saves these beautiful domestic animals that were meant to be loves not eaten. Aweful
I pray and hope it’s true and put an end to all Dog meat factories
I love that this was achieved. But what about all the animals (cows, pigs, chicken etc) that the US processes in factory farms? Whats the difference??
Thank you for what you did.
Awesome
Thank you for saving these dogs and for protecting animals from things that can hurt them. I love you!
Eating a dog to me would be like cannibalism. Indeed I have known dogs that I liked better than most people
What all the other animals that we raise for meat?
Omg
How could Any human being eat dog!!!
That’s mans best friend!!!
There is no need to eat dog!!
I will feed you!!
Other people will feed you
Would you eat children that had no families or were in the foster care system ?
No because we love our children
Just like we love mans best friend
Dog spelled backwards is god
And god would never want you to do such a thing!!! It’s ungodly!!!!
How do you go about adopting one of these dogs? I have 3 already they are small house dogs but just like our children. Always room for one more. Thanks for what you are doing God bless you all.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING THESE 😇ANGELS THAT GOD GAVE US TO PROTECT AND LOVE!
I would luv to have a chance to adopt one.
How can I save 1?
I would very much like to know how to go about adopting one of these precious, rescued furbabies. I have a ton of love to give and I can’t think of a rescue dog that needs love more than one of these poor, sweet pups.
I remember the first time I learned people in South Korea ate dogs I was in total shock. Growing up on the USA where we love our pets especially dogs, I could not get that out of my mind. I wanted to go there and get trucks full of dogs and bring them home. Hooray! for saving these beautiful animals
And bringing them here to the USA to homes and happy families. This organization is awesome!! We have great area pet adoption centers in Kansas City.
We have 3 dogs of our own.
Booker T. (Boo) Humprey Bogart (Bogie) and Milly thank you too.
Praise God and HSUS for these beautiful animals’ rescues! Pray for more soon!
That is disgusting . They are pets not food. Thank you for saving them
May God, Allah bless America,Americans and all those koreans who are working hard to protect these animals. Thank you for your tireless effort in saving these beautiful creators from slaughter. They are harmless and very loyal. They deserve to live in loving homes and be part of the family. I love my 2 little rescued one’s. Please be kind to animals..
Let’s go meatless. Let’s stop abusing animals.
Where can we donate money to help
With this?
I have been searching for a dog since my last furbaby passed. I wish some would come to Florida.
God Bless everyone involved with rescuing these poor babies!! Thank you!
Seems strange that dogs being raised for meat on a dog meat farm would be skeletal and starving. Not much meat there.
I would like information on how to adopt one of these dogs when they are available this breaks my heart and I’m going to do everything I can to make one of their lives happier
Great job saving this dog .wished we could save all dogs.some way some how
Oh thank you so much for helping these sweet babies! You are angels!
This is absolutely disgusting. They don’t deserve this keep the pets safe.
Simply heart-rending story and photos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your humane work.
How does one adopt one of these precious dogs?
Thank you! For what you do! God bless 🙌you
Would any of these dog be great for a service animal? If so I would love to adopt one
Thank you God and all the people who helps rescue these precious animals!
Where are they ?
Gracias Por Su Rescate De Estos Perritos. Bendiciones A Todos. 🙏👨👧🐾❤
God is good… all the time… including to animals. Hallelujah.
Hey do you realize Lewis/Clark took dogs along with them on their expedition and not all were companions,The native Americans thought they were discusting
My heart breaks for these helpless dogs, they are Broke. but soon those will all b distant memories.I’m so happy to see there are good people in the world who don’t look the other way..thank you
How can i adopt one of these dogs? I would sure love to give one of them a happy healthy home.
I’m so glad that someone cares enough to help these innocent friends of ours who only want nothing more than to make their masters and family members happy!! Thank you and carry on the good work of saving them from misery and slaughter. God bless you all…and the people of Korea.
Congratulations on the work you are doing. And even more God bless all of you for saving these furbabies.
Thank u so so so so so very much for resucing these beautiful pups! Angel’s rescuing Angel’s! I wish there was a way I could help! Thank u for your beautiful souls
Where can I get info for a possibility of adoption please
Muchas gracias por sacarlos!!!
I am ready to be a part of this rescue mission. Can I be trained and go to assist? Please let me help with more than the donations I provide. I want to go and be there to help save them all. Do these people not realize dogs are living pets???? What kind of humans do this, evil deeds. Let me get involved!!??
Thank you for rescuing the dogs.
I want to rescue 1 and adopt one them babies I live in Tennessee how can I do this thanks
Beautiful dogs – shouldn’t be treated like that. Deserve loving homes and families.
THANK YOU 🙏 my heart goes out to all those rescued and those in need of being rescued. This should not be happening to these innocent animals. They should be treated with love and care not slaughtered. Inhuman acts should not be tolerated and should be punished. Again, thank you a million for your work, dedication, efforts and all the love you have to give to these poor dogs. I’m a dog lover with two of my own that are my sons not dogs. We need to love and care for them the way they do for us.
God bless, the dogs & the ppl who rescue them! Wish my dog wasn’t so territorial, I have a lot of land/time but he is not dog friendly which makes it hard to help
How could you bring your best friend to a dining table and eat them with your own mouth? That makes me throw up. How heartless is that? Can’t believe South Korean have dog trade business going.
I wish all the counties over the world can put it to ended and make it official”illegal” and “ban” them to sell on the market. Sellers and buyers need to go to the jail for their crime.
Wonderful job done. Is there any NGO trying to rescue cows, sheep, lambs, and chickens? After all they also deserve a brighter future.
Bless your hearts saving precious dogs and the people that goes with them.
How do I go about adopting one of these dogs, I live in Delaware?
Thank God these beautiful animals have been saved! We nees to save them all!!!!
I CRIED SO MUCH READING ABOUT THIS STORY! GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I cannot stop crying
Thank God these dogs were rescued! It breaks my heart to see this is a terrible crime what happens to those animals.
With truly heart felt sincerity I Thank God for you, for you are the angels sent by him to save his beautiful creatures.
Prayers for those sweet pups. And for your dedicated teams.
I Vandy Lee think it
is awful to take dogs and put them
behind bars and shave off the air and kill them to eat. That is so cruel. Iam a dog
lover. Thank God help came. I have a
little dog name Chloe and I love her very much.
Thank you no dog deserves this no animal does
Dogs are to be family. They are not to be worshipped or raised for food. They are intelligent animals with feelings and I am so grateful that there are people doing what they can save them.
Thank you for your caring work.
This is consider animal cruelty and endangerment of a pet. It’s unacceptable and those responsible should be brought to justice immediately. Theirs no excuse to sacrifice a dog when they do so much for our families and bringing happiness all day long. I have a boxer and I will defend any other pet until the end of my time…
You are Angels on earth to be saving theses dogs. How in 2021 this could be a reality is shocking to me. The amount of cruelty and torture man inflicts on gods creatures cant even be measured. But you are tipping the scales in favor of the dogs and will one day be highly rewarded for yout great acts of courage and defense of animals. Thankyou so much
I believe what you do is amazing to help our furry friends. I have always grown up with dogs and they are so comforting. I think getting these farmers involved in another form of farming business is a great idea. Prayers and hugs to all of you that have the time and commitment to help
Thank u for saving these dogs lives.
I had tears in my eyes . I am hopeful for their future now
We must stop this horrific trade of sweet dogs.
It is evil and inhumane.
Thank you for rescuing those sweet dogs. How can people be so cruel? Keep up the good work!
Thank you for giving these dogs they so deserve filled with nutrition, medical care, affection, the ability to trust, have freedom to run and play, free of fear, to experience hope and love.
How do you adopt or foster a dog saved from the dog meat slaughter farms?
This is so horrible. Thank you to those who save these beautiful beings. The human race is the biggest problem to our precious animals on earth not to mention to each other.
This is so heartbreaking. Thank you for all you do !!
Bravo HSI – finally a refreshingly great news story. A small but significant victory. A civilized culture like South Korea has taken much too long to think about bringing this barbarism to a close. Unfortunately it’s still alive and prosperous in other Asian cultures where the slaughter of dogs and cats is horrifically inhumane.
What A Awesome Job i Am Wanting A Dog
We must stop this cruelty. My heart brakes just to see the pups so scared. They are suffering. God stop this. Praying hard for this poor little souls.
How do I adopt one of them….I would love one! I only take in rescues!
Will the same be done for domestic delicacies?
Thank you for being vessels of Almighty God’s compassion, and God bless the dogs.
How can we find out about adopting one of these dogs when they are ready for adoption?
Thanks!

That is the horrible thing to do to your pet.please contact to help the puppy
My brain just can’t imagine eating a dog, it’s just not thinkable or imaginable I’m 62, it’s that bad to me, I honestly just can’t imagine eating a dog not do I want to. Are people really actually starving that much?? Or are they filled with so much hatred?
Omg ty for saving these babies! My heart cried and of course tears came down. These animals are so special. I hope they all find loving homes till the end of their days.💕
HSUS, GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO ARE INVOLVED IN HELPING THESE WONDERFUL CARING RESCUERS HELP TO RESCUE THE POOR INNOCENT DOGS. GOD BLESS THEM ALL AND THE PRECIOUS DOGS.
You guys are so amazing thank you for figuring out how to do that please continue your awesome work!
What a wonderful mission! Fortunately these beautiful dogs will have the lives they deserve.
I hope the dog farmers prosper in New endeavors!
It brung tears to my eyes to know that these farms did this to these dogs!.. Im glad that they all were rescued.i cant imagine how people could be so cruel like that!.hopefully all those farms can be stopped..
Well that sucks people need there meat!
How can I help and volunteer?❤🙏😭
You guys will surely be blessed as you help those who cannot help themselves.. And are no less important than a human being.
I am 65 years old. I have two dogs.
I guess you could say I’m the old man with the dogs now. They are all I have that means anything to me. I had to take my glasses off a couple of times and wipe them off (and no I didn’t run to get a tissue I used my shirt), I’m an old School guy. I hadn’t shed a tear in years until today. Here is my pledge to you and your organization. I’m in the process of remodeling my house and when it sells I will contact you and donate $5,000. Thank you for what you do. You have courage. God bless you!
Semper Fidelis!
I would like to adopt one . 🤗🤗
I have a lab and I would love to rescue one of these to add to FAMILY. Please.
Thank you very much I am very happy for this…Thank you… we need that this horrible custom finish for ever and ever…! They must to live happy and healthy without fear…!!
Muchas Gracias.Yo estoy muy feliz
Por esto..Gracias..Necesitamos que esta horrible costumbre termine para siempre.. Ellos deben vivir felices saludables y sin temores…!!
Thank God we have never had to carry on life like this in America. I hope we never have too, but after a pandemic-who knows. I am grateful for this organization and their efforts. I will make a donation of what I can afford to them.
I would love to help by adopting one of them.
Lovely breeds, it’s so unfortunate that dogs are treated that way in Asia.
My only thought on this matter is that the people in Korea have been eating dog forever. How would the people of the United States and other countries like it if someone decided that it was against the rules of humanity to eat cows sheep and or pigs. And then came in and took all the animals away to save them and not care what the people are going to eat instead.
Maybe India will take our cows
Thank you for saving those precious dogs….all they want it love and you and your workers have Given them not only love but Life!! Not enough can be said for resueers like you!! I would love to go and shut down everyone of those awful meat farms and take ever dog to a beautiful place where they could enjoy life if I was rich….thats what I would spend the money and my time on…..thank you again thats 171 who’s lives have begun for the first time!!❤❤❤❤🐕🦺🦮🐕🐩❤❤❤
So glad you were able to save some of those poor babies. My husband and I would love to give 1 a home. How to you go about adopting one?
Thank you so much for rescuing the dogs from those horrible people who treat them like thar
I get it. It’s wonderful what u do
But what about all the cows and pigs and chickens?
Where can we find these dogs to adopt them ? ♥️🐾
Thank you to HSI and Korean partners for understanding, caring and taking action!!
I would be interested in the location in Maryland where these beautiful dogs were temporarily relocated. I live in Maryland. Maybe I could volunteer if needed?
I hope they bulldozed those kennels or they will just fill them up again
God bless these wonderful people for saving these sweet baby’s. I pray they are able to stop it all together someday. If I had the room I would love to have one of the dogs. But We already have so many rescues.
How do we find out about adopting the dogs?
This makes my heart hurt and bends my mind…..so thankful and glad that these dogs were rescued. Super good job! Breaks my heart for those poor four legged souls still caged and the atrocious fate that awaits them. I hope those farmers are all put out of business forever. It’s well past time for this barbaric behavior to stop.
This needs to end! I am grateful for those heroes rescuing those beautiful dogs! God bless them and continue the fight for ending this abusive and archaic dog treatment
MUITO OBRIGADA 🙏🙏❤️❤️👍🐾
I can’t read the article. Just seeing the headline made me cry and has given me a headache 🤕
How do I adopt a couple of these precious babies?
What you are doing is truly beautiful.
You can’t save them all (yet) but you can save the ones you can save. I can’t thank you enough for what you do. I know you don’t do it for accolades – – -you do it out of love for each and every one of these innocent, helpless, victimised creatures who have done nothing deserving of a life that only allows them to die a little more each day they “live”. God bless and expand and multiply your endeavors
Thank you. I heard of this practice. awhile ago and couldn’t understand why I didn’t hear more outrage and/or rescue. Even most meat eaters wouldn’t condone eating dog. Thank you for your work.
I witnessed these dog farms in persom while in Korea. Sad.
I don’t get it. The WORLD is Not America. Other cultures, taboos, sources of protein, etc. The U.S. needs to quit playing nursemaid to the world and fix its’ own issues. Its counter intuitive to clean your neighbor’s house while your own is in disarray. “We The Sheeple….”
Shut them all down. The inhumane slaughter of these dogs is unbearable.
I hope and pray that we can end this senseless slaughter of these innocent and beautiful creatures. All life is sacred, we must do better as a species to acknowledge that fact.I would gladly give up a portion of my meat intake if it meant saving just one of these dogs.They are loving and intelligent and need our protection and care.
thank God for this rescue those poor dogs deserve a good home with good people thank you to all that made this possible
5 years ago the most amazing thing happened to me. I met Tundra, my Korean Jindo/Akita mix. He came from one of those farms.
The thought of him enduring life in one of those cages waiting to be brutally slaughtered rips my heart out.
He is my love. My heart. I would take a bullet for him.
I am an animal lover and I am so glad that she rescued these dogs what can we do to stop them from putting them in this farm and slaughtering them for me there has got to be something that people can do
I am SO THANKFUL for people like yourselves to go out and rescue these fur babies. Not even one deserved to be held there for what was their destination. And now that they are free from that awful situation, my whole self from inside to the outside just cries with joy for every single baby . I never call them dogs because to me they are as much a person and friend as we call them ” A MAN’S BEST FRIEND ” . I want to thank you ALL there and the invovled ,with ALL MY HEART .THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING THERE FOR THEM .
These people are angels.i wish we had more people like this.and it sucks that america has all these actors and celebrities that have all this money and do nothing to contribute.i want to say thank you for being there for those dogs.please keep up the god work.please be safe Doin it
How can I adopt?
Maia
Welcome home! May all of you find good homes and feel loved and respected every day. God bless you and the rescuers and handlers! Find some rest.
Gracias por la bonita labor que hacen al recatar a tanto animal abusado y maltratado .hay que donar para ayudar a estás organizaciones a qué sigan rescatando a todos los animales que están en peligro y darles una mejor vida muchísimas gracias y a seguir adelante 🙏🙏🙏🤗🐶🐱🐷🐴🦓🐮🦌
My heart hurts so much how anyone can do this to are companions the dog.they love u
Unconditionally and trust us.my ❤ hurts
How can I adopted one?
We should ALL help!!! this is inhumane. these animals deserve a fair chance. These animals are not meant to be eaten. God bless this organization. Please let me know how I can help!
Amazing work you are doing, those poor babies…. I would love to know who I need to contact about adopting one of these dogs.
I’m so greatful the Heroes that rescue these animals do such a great job!!! This inhumane way of how they use animals there such as dogs .cats..etc is unacceptable!!!!!!Ban once and for all…God bless the kindhearted
Sick, sick and SICK!
What, is it to hard to raise chicken?
May God bless you people every single day of your lives and always keep you in His care. I’m not sure I could handle doing what you do. I have 4 dogs and would have 100 if I could. Let’s pray that someday maybe even in our lifetime, every single “meat” farm what an awful expression, is shut down forever. And that all of God’s creatures, big and small, are treated with dignity and respect. This all starts with the children and their parents who have to teach them to respect animals and to never hurt them. God bless you.
I’m thankful,grateful , someone stepped in to rescue these poor creatures of God. I’m so sickened by this article I threw up. Please do all you can to advertise or make others aware globally so you can get the funds you need to continue these rescues and teach so that this practice is stopped. I’ll pray for your continued success and donate if asked.
Are these dogs currently up for adoption? Any info or links to your group etc.. Thanks!
I have tears in my eyes, God bless these people for their heroic work. I wish I knew where I could adopt and give a forever home to one or more of these beautiful dogs.
This is heartbreaking and so sad. These sweet and innocent dogs treated this way. I support you and hope more people do the same. These dogs have rights and deserve the love they give. We are lucky to have people like you.
These people do an amazing wonderful service to
God’s beautiful creatures. God
Bless all of these people who help out these beautiful dogs in their time of need!!
What if the south Koreans come and try to rescue blind chickens from the tyson plant in the Usa. Not to mention India coming to Texas and rescuing cows. This seems like a waste of resources. I bet by the time this atricle was published thoses cages are full again.
I would love to adopt 1 or 2 of these dogs
Incredible work! One can only wonder if the new owners of the dogs eat other intelligent mammals raised in similar or worse conditions in the US.
Susankatz5801@gmail.com. Thanks to the brave people who are involved in this dog rescue. The poor suffering animals need our help. .
Where can we adopt one? I see there were many that look like my own dog Emma. Is there a rhodhesian ridgeback available near Sacramento?
Where are these dogs in usa and how can you adopt one?please kindly let me know thank you
That’s a Great Job that the Humane Society does. I hope they can continue to shut down those places and save the animals. Thank you.
God Bless you guys for saving these poor innocent Babies
There is a Special place in Heaven
Awaiting you all😇🐾🙏❤️😎🌻🌵
How could people with evil minds do this to our beautiful dogs that can be trained to help humans to become sighted dogs, and handicapped to aide in becoming independent.
I stubbled across this and I truely am thankful for the people like you. What your doing is simply just amazing. Thank you very much for saving these beautiful animals that deserve so much better. Again I’m so grateful for what you are doing.
I would love to adopt one of these dogs.
THANK GOD JESUS AND ALL THE ANGELS…EARTH AND ARCHANGELS FOR KITTY AND THIS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. I FOR ONE CANNOT SLEEP NIGHTS KNOWING ABOUT THE DOG MEAT TRADE..AND WET MARKETS IN ASIA. IT UPSETS ME TO THE POINT OF DEPRESSION. WE MUST CONTINUE TO EDUCATE THESE PEOPLE AS TO WHY THIS ON SO MANY LEVELS IS DANGEROUS UNACCEPTABLE AND JUST PLAIN CRUEL. I SIGN AS MANY PETITIONS AS I CAN…I WISH THAT I COULD WIN THE LOTTERY TO HELP EVEN MORE.
How are these dogs fed, housed and trained that no harm will come their way anymore? Is MD the only place these dogs (furbabies) are taken to?
It’s a shame how they treat these dogs and what they use them for I’m so glad that somebody finally rescued these dogs they say dogs are man’s best friend this is not the kind of best friend a dog would want to get in them
This is good news! Thank you and bless all of you involved in this rescue!! I hope the dogs all make it and get loving homes! I also hope the person who had this horrible business does well in his new business and doesnt return to the dog meat trade!
To all that was involved in the rescue of these dogs, “Thank You ” ! It must have been a wonderful feeling to know you were apart of something greater than yourself! There is no better love & loyalty than that of a dog and all they need in return for there service is a good scratch and a safe forever home. ” HATS OFF TO YOU ” and THANK YOU !!!
Very happy the dogs won’t be Korean food, anymore I’m totally against animal abuse. I adore animals big and small especially dogs they are my favorite
Omg omg i didnt know this was going on this cant happen this is unreal im sick to my stomach amd cant stop crying how can a person get information on how to become part of the amazing heros that are rescuing these poor babies this cant happen this makes our world seem more dark and ugly knowing this is going on they have emotions and feelings and are so loving and loyal and were doing this in our world it doesnt seem real but i know it is please what can we do to completly stop this horror
Bless all of you for the work you do, you are Angels here on earth.
All the workers who day in and day out help animals of all kind are truely the angels on this earth!For all of us who live in a daily rutine,stop and take time to think about what these rescuers do,im a 54 year old big man who has been brought to tears of joy for these dogs,and we should all find a way to make this a completely “humane” world.thank you so much for your compassion,heart,and sacrifices!
I am so happy you saved these dogs.
Thank you very much.
I thank each and everyone of you saving these defenseless animals. Thank you for protecting and saving them them. You are angels.
I love dogs, cats, birds. Also pigs, cows, sheep, fish. Is farming dog meat abhorrent because they’re common pets? Why aren’t we horrified at pig, cow, chicken, fish meat farms. Why is there no outrage for eating any animal? Why are cultures who eat dogs looked at cross-eyed; while other animal eaters are accepted. And what’s up w/foie gras?? Torturing geese & calling it a delicacy!!! They seriously need to raid those farms!!
U should warn people that the video showing negative graphic cant bear that don’t need to see it to help
Thxs for your courageous hard loving work
THIS IS WHY I DONATE
MONTHLY🙏🙏🙏👼👼👼👼👼
I SEE MY REWARD AND GRATITUDE ❤️ FOR THE
HEARTWARMING WORK YOU
DO
🦸🦸🦸🦸🦸👼👼👼👼👼👼👼👼🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠😹😹😹😹
THANK YOU
Thank you for saving the dogs.
I am so happy that the meat farm where dogs were rescued in Korea. ALL dog meat farms need and have to be shut down I dont care what people say dogs puppies cats kittens are NOT a food chain….
Thanks so much! Remember: It’s their world, we’re just living in it.
You all are angels for saving these dogs! Thank God for people like you that can travel and go those extra miles to save these babies from being used for food!
Praise God in heaven. I financially support the humane society.
So if the dogs or animals are being raised as food for them to eat what’s the difference between them and cows pigs chicken they are also animals raised for food that probably are not cost effective for poor folk in South Korea so who are we to impose are judgments in South korea
So amazing to hear these pups were rescued! Thank you for helping them, how anyone can want to eat such an intelligent and adorable species is unbelievable.
That is so awesome. Dog are not for food consumption they are our best friends. They are so innocent and loving. I am so glad they were rescued and gid bless the ones that made this happen ❤️🐕❤️🐕😊
God bless the people who took place in rescuing these precious dogs. Animals are so innocent and they don’t deserve this type of treatment. There not for food. There wonderful pets and there so loving.❤️🐕❤️🐕❤️🐕❤️🐕❤️🐕❤️🥳😊
I am disabled and need a support dog for my depression I would love to adopted one I have a prescription from doctor for a saportdog don’t understand how can someone be so mean I didn’t no until I seen it on breaking news may God be with all the animals rescue teams keep up the good work may God bless each animals u save and they find a good safe place to call home
Beautiful and heart-rending testimony. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. These dogs will have the life that they deserve as man’s best friend.
Bless you Humane Society and farmers who gave up this trade. The world has become a better because of you. Although I have cats, I recognize and appreciate the wonderful dogs I live near. They are so keenly intelligent that they know their neighbors and acknowledge us as we admire them.
I Thank God and to the Wonderful People who work so hard to stop this Insanity . Appalling !!!I I am in tears 😢 knowing that this is going on .
Thank God for these wonderful people.
Humans seem to forget animals are gods creatures just like us .thank for saving the dogs these world be so different if everyone did their grain of rice.
How can I get information about adopting one of these dogs
Im crying so much. Thank you thank you thank for saving the dogs.
Thank you so much for saving the animals. Beautiful story.
Thank you to all the organizations for all the hard work you do to rescue these animals! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Is there more information somewhere on how to possibly adopt one of these dogs? Reading this literally broke my heart, this is the saddest and quite possibly the most wonderful thing I’ve ever read. God bless all who have saved these poor pups.
please save these dogs. Thats just Disgusting and Evil!
If the dogs are being raised for meat, why would they be starving? Makes no sense. Horrible industry; I’m glad the farms are being shut down. Now if we could just shut down our puppy mills…
I was shocked and appalled by the inhuman way those south koreans dog farms could treat dogs so badly.but iam glad that former dog farms owner gave his dogs to the international humane society. He did the right action.
People suck
Every dog deserves the love it gives. May every pet find a good home. Bless everyone who helps these poor animals from further suffering. It breaks my heart as I pray for them all.
I’m glad they are saving the dogs but farm animals deserve just as much compassion.
Keep up the fantastic job you are all doing and God bless you all
We have one of those puppies from the October 2020 group that came over. He is a mastiff/ lab mix and he is a puppy from one of the pregnant dogs that was in the group. Other then him being super shy around men, including me, he is such a good dog. We love him.
It warms my heart to see these poor dogs saved from death like this. Keep doing what you do, you are all angels 😇
My God, thanks to all that help save these precious, abused, poor dogs! I look at my dogs and just wish I could take in all these hurting pups. You’re all fantastic folks to give your time for this rescue mission. Please update when these dogs have new homes!
I am very Thankful for all who did there due Diligence in the rescue of those poor dogs there in South Korea. The nerve of all who was involved to raise dogs for meat. I hope they are brought to justice. I am always extremely Happy to hear or read about happy endings for Dogs, and all other animals that are potentially put in danger,Job well done…
Bless these beautiful dogs.Thanks to those that helped in saving them!
How and where can I get a job doing this in other countries dogs and cats are my passion. I would love to adopt one of these dogs and show it to love then it’s so much needs. Please tell me ASAP
How do I go about adopting one of these dogs?
We adopted one of these boys.
His name was Hamlin when we adopted him from Cincinnati Animal care
This poor boy was one of the saddest sights I had ever seen.
We have renamed him Zeusy boy
Zeus came to us and was absolutely terrified of people could not touch him at all
he would not eat if he was not alone.
This poor baby was soo skinny, his ribs were showing and you can see where the ribs have been broken and healed incorrectly. He was eating his tail (anxiety)
however, 5 months later Zeus has been born again!!!!
he is now thriving and gaining weight, he comes to you wanting attention and head scratchies, he is learning to walk on a leash, and play with toys.
his favorite things to play with are sticks and cardboard boxes lol (he shreds them) but he is learning to play with balls and ropes.
he is now running in the yard with the other dogs instead of hiding in the corner of the yard.
today was the first day he has climbed up on the couch with my husband wanting to be cuddled.
Zeus has come such a long way in such a short amount of time
I am so happy for him, I’m so happy that he is a happy boy and learning how to live his best life as a forever family member.
Zeus is amazing, he puts so much trust into us even after every horrible thing that has been caused by humans
I adopted one of the dogs from this rescue 3 weeks ago today, named River. He was kept there in a crate too small for his growing body (mastiff mix) so his bones grew to accommodate the lack of space and he walks on his pasterns which is part of why it took so long for him to get adopted. He is timid of new noises, new people and water but otherwise very sweet.
I adopted one of the 171 dogs in this article. His name is Milou.Thank you Nami Kim and HSI for saving them!!
Thank you so much for adopting Milou! We are incredibly grateful for your decision to give him a loving home.
