Story
Meet Thor!  He's a vey handsome sweet guy!  He is a 3-4 year old that was rescued from a horrific dog meat farm in South Korea.  We have partners we work with there that pull these dogs from the worst horrors imaginable.  Many of these dogs start off in horrific puppy mill type facilities on tiny rabbit cage size wire crates in complete filth.  If they are not sold at 6 or 8 weeks then they either stay for a couple years to be used to breed more and then are sold off to the meat trade, or they are sold off right away.  Jindo's and Tosa's are the most common meat type dogs, and are very commonly bred specifically for their meat and the meat farms also act as breeding farms until they reach a good age and weight. South Korea is one of the only countries that actually farms dogs for their meat.   Some restaurants will serve a dish called " bosintang ", which stands for "dog meat soup". It's a popular dish in South  Korea with some of the older generations,  and is said to act as an aphrodisiac for men.    Little dogs are used for elixirs and potions.  The younger generation is mostly against this practice and many choose to not eat them, and we can only hope in time with education and generations of change that an end will come to this horrific trade.  Sadly, when Thor was caged at the meat farm- the conditions are so horrible that he wound up getting his leg caught in the bars and severing most of his front leg.  When rescued, he had to have his leg amputated.  You would never know he has only 3 legs as he walks, runs and plays just as good as a 4 legged dog!  It just makes him that much more special.  Thor and some of his friends have been flown here for a chance at a future and a real life.  These are miracle dogs that they are alive today.  Our adoption fee is $600 which helps offset some of the flight costs.  If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application form at  https://form.jotform.com/oscarlucy/dog-adoption-app December 19, 2024, 5:28 pm
