UPDATE ON YANGSAN DOG FARM DAY 1
Out of desperation, we started a GoFundMe page last minute to cover rescue fees. We believe in ethical fundraising and every $1 we spent towards this rescue, we will post upon receipt of all receipts and invoices. We would like to take this opportunity to prove to you all our ethical practice in fundraising and rescuing of dog meat trade dogs. It is too much for us individuals to handle.
This has now become public’s rescue. We are asking any citizens of Republic of Korea to help us and started an open forum for everyone to participate. Presently, there are approximately 50 volunteers helping with this rescue. These warmhearted individuals are stopping by to donate all necessary items for rescued dogs. This has now become ALL OF OUR RESCUE.
Total head count for dogs rescued from this horrific dog farm is 64 (52 adult canines and 12 puppies). We don’t know the exact medical conditions all all dogs presently but we do notice severe skin diseases and respiratory problems with some dogs. We’re hoping none of the dogs have heartworms and other diseases such as Parvo, corona, and distemper. Otherwise, we’re looking at additional $10k-$30k. Worst case scenario, we’re looking at $1000 per dog for Heartworm treatments, testings, spay/neuter, and full vaccinations
We would like to reach out to large rescue organizations in the U.S. to help us with this rescue. If you know of any, please tag them here and send them an email please. More the merrier. They have no problem reaching out to us whenever they have a question or need help on their end. One group based in Los Angeles committed to taking 10 rescued dogs, then backed out. Another group had no problem stealing dogs from Hanam to raise funds on their end. Where are you now when we need you the most? If we can get a commitment of 2 dogs per local rescue groups in the U.S., we will forever be grateful.
If you’re with a rescue group in the U.S. or Canada and would like to help us find forever homes for these fur babies, please email at: adopt@joeyandbailey.org. We welcome experienced personal adopters as well. Thank you so much! <3
