Dog rescued moments from slaughter gently lifts paw in thanks to her heroes
The people of South Kore are very polite and welcoming of visitors. If there is one thing that the country of South Korea has a bad reputation for, though, it is the large number of dog meat farms located there.
The dogs found at these farms are left outdoors in small cages, with almost no food and no water in many cases. These dogs do have some strong allies on their side, specifically the Humane Society International (HSI).
Putting a stop to dog meat farms
To stop this heinous practice, the HSI, acting in conjunction with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), has been working to close these locations down.
Though the HIS has saved many dogs from such a bad fate, many remain that face a life filled with cruelty and death.
Sandie is saved from a cruel fate
One dog, in particular, was saved from this fate along with over 200 other dogs, at the 13th dog meat farm that the HSUS has helped shut down. Found alone in a tiny cage, the dog, named Sandie, was scared and alone.
Sandy gives her rescuers a thank you
As the rescuers approached, she lifted her paw in thanks.
She was then taken to the shelter, along with the other dogs, to get checked out. Sandie and the other dogs were fortunate to make it out alive.
Now all they had to do was recover so that they could be adopted.
Sandie finds a home
As for Sandie, she ended up being adopted by a family in the United Kingdom who love her very much.
In addition to the human members of Sandie’s new family, she also had some new siblings in the form of a bunny and her family’s other dog.
The Humane Society
As for the Humane Society, the organization has worked tirelessly to rescue as many dogs as it can living on meat farms around the world.
Key to their success is spreading awareness.
The hope is to someday rid the world of these illegal farms.
Each one closed down means that many more dogs are saved from the cruel fate that awaits most of the dogs trapped on these farms.
The ultimate goal of the Humane Society is to end the suffering of all animals. To do this, the organization relies on the donations it receives from its supporters around the world.
