In the heart-wrenching reality of the Korean dog meat trade, countless dogs face a life of suffering and unimaginable cruelty. However, amid the darkness, there is a glimmer of hope as individuals and organizations rally together to rescue these innocent beings. In this blog post, we'll explore the efforts to save dogs from the Korean dog meat trade, shedding light on the courageous journey towards a more compassionate future. The Korean dog meat trade has long been a controversial issue, with an estimated two million dogs slaughtered annually for their meat. These animals endure deplorable conditions, facing not only physical abuse but also the emotional trauma of being confined in cramped spaces and subjected to unthinkable cruelty. Over recent years, a surge of activism and animal advocacy has taken root, both within South Korea and on a global scale. Organizations like K9 Global Rescue" are at the forefront, tirelessly working to rescue dogs from slaughterhouses and illegal farms. Rescue missions often involve courageous undercover operations, where activists infiltrate dog meat farms and slaughterhouses to document the conditions and negotiate the release of the animals. These daring efforts are instrumental in exposing the harsh reality and rallying support for change.
The fight against the Korean dog meat trade extends beyond borders, with international organizations partnering to raise awareness and provide financial support for rescue missions. Collaboration between local activists and global supporters has proven to be a powerful force in challenging the status quo. One significant stride in the battle against the dog meat trade is the conversion of dog meat farms into sanctuaries. Instead of shutting down these establishments abruptly, activists work with farmers to transition towards more humane practices, such as cultivating crops or operating animal-friendly businesses. Over the past few years, K9 Global Rescue was instrumental in shutting down meat farm like the one in Jeonju South Korea. The rescued dogs face a long journey of recovery, both physically and emotionally. Many suffer from malnutrition, injuries, and deep psychological scars. Dedicated rescue organizations provide medical care, rehabilitation, and, most importantly, a safe space for the dogs to heal and rediscover trust in humans. Amid the challenges, there are heartwarming success stories of dogs who have not only survived the horrors of the dog meat trade but have gone on to become cherished family members. K9 Global Rescue is credited for saving over 4000 dogs over a 20-year time frame. These tales inspire hope and showcase the resilience of these remarkable animals.
While progress has been made, the battle against the Korean dog meat trade is far from over. Continued advocacy, public awareness, and legislative efforts are crucial in pushing for lasting change. As more people around the world join the fight, the hope for a day when no dog will suffer in the name of tradition grows stronger. On January 9, 2024, the Nation Assembly of Korea passed the permanent ban on the slaughter of dogs, effective on January 1, 2027, but the work K9 Global Rescue does will continue. Rescuing dogs from the Korean dog meat trade is a testament to the power of compassion and collective action. As we shine a light on this issue, we at K9 Global Rescue will continue to contribute to a global movement that seeks not only to save individual lives but to transform societal attitudes towards animals. Together, we can be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves and work towards a world where all without a voice are given hope and are treated with kindness and respect.
We Stand With The People & Animals of Ukraine

Our volunteers are boots on the ground working throughout Ukraine from Kyiv, Bucha, Irpin, Kharkiv, Izium, Bakhmut, Soledad and Lyman, Kherson and throughout the North, East, and Southern front lines. While on these missions we continue to work with several highly regarded rescue groups and the Armed Forces of Ukraine helping with our logistics and supply needs. We continue to extract people and animals out of harms way, transport and deliver both animal and human medical aid, human food, dog & cat food, and pet supplies. Our volunteers continue to put themselves at risk in newly liberated villages and contested areas under constant Russian shelling. Financial donations are needed more than ever to sustain our efforts. The situation is desperate, and our ask is huge but with your help it can be accomplished. Please share and donate if you can. We will continue to post videos and pictures of our missions.
