My name is Ellen!

Our dogs are coming from China and are typically rescued from dangerous situations (e.g. the meat trade industry). They travel a long way to get to LA, spending many hours in a crate. Therefore, they often have unique needs and need a lot of special attention. This is why we spend a lot of time with potential adopters

Meetings by appointment. Dogs are fostered in Los Angeles.

At Hope for China Dogs, we are committed to combating the cruel and inhumane practice of the dog meat trade in China. We believe that every dog deserves to live a life free from pain and suffering, which is why we are dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs who have been victims of this trade.
Our mission is to provide a safe haven for these dogs, promote education and awareness around the dog meat trade, and advocate for its abolition. We work closely with our volunteers in China to rescue dogs from slaughterhouses, meat markets & trucks, and other dangerous situations, and bring them to immediate safety in China. From there we address any immediate medical needs, and begin the process of flying them to the US where we find their loving forever homes.
Through our work, we save lives, end suffering, and bring happiness to dogs and humans. We ultimately hope to bring an end to the dog meat trade, and create a more compassionate world for all dogs and animals.
