Rescue Update: 27 Puppies Saved from China’s Dog Meat Trade

We are overjoyed to provide an update on the incredible rescue of 27 puppies from China’s horrific dog meat trade. Earlier this summer, our dedicated shelter partner in China, Bo Ai Animal Protection Centre Of Guangyuan, conducted a brave undercover operation, leading them to a breeder raising puppies to sell at the notorious Yulin Dog Meat Festival. Eventually, they were able to convince the breeder to release the puppies into their care. It is because of their courageous efforts that these puppies have been saved from a brutal death.

Upon rescue, nearly half of the puppies were found to be severely ill with Canine Distemper and Parvovirus. They were rushed to the hospital, where 13 of them spent over a month receiving intensive care. Today, we are thrilled to share that all of these puppies are out of the hospital, healthy, and thriving under the loving care of our local partner.

The transformation in these puppies is nothing short of miraculous. They are now happy, playful, and enjoying the simple joys of being puppies. This rescue and subsequent care came at a significant cost, but thanks to the incredible generosity of donors like you, we were able to support their rescue and give them a second chance at life.

We sincerely thank our donors, whose compassion and support made this rescue possible. Your contributions have saved lives and given these puppies a future filled with love and happiness.

We are also profoundly grateful to our brave partners who continue to fight against the dog meat trade. Their unwavering dedication and courage in the face of such a daunting challenge inspire us all.
