Newsletter Humane Society International.. Humane Society International has been rescuing puppies, dogs and cats from the meat farms of South Korea, China and the Philippines. These rescues are very demanding and take expert planning to be able to rescue as many animals as possible. With their latest operation in Korea, HSI has helped rescue more than 770 dogs from dog meat farms. Many of the breeds are Cocker Spaniels, English Spaniels, Jindo, Pyrennes, Beagles and Mastiffs. More than 30 million dogs are brutally killed each year, primarily in Asia, for the global dog meat trade. They are also waging campaigns in China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos and other Asian nations to stop the trade.. Putting an end to the dog meat trade, which can include cats at times, has been an overwhelming heart breaking experience, but filled with joy that each animal will know love and kindness in their new forever homes in the U.S. Humane Society International places many of the rescued dogs in Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Oklahoma and Washington D.C. Please continue to support Humane Society International and all of their efforts in saving all dogs from the brutal slaughter of the dog meat trade. Mahalo

What do these three dogs have in common? They were rescued from dog meat farms in South Korea because of compassionate people like you. It’s remarkable to see the transformation of these dogs both physically and mentally. Sophie was rescued along with 149 other dogs suffering in the worst way. She is now enjoying a life of never wondering when her next meal will be—and dinnertime is her most treasured time of the day. Everyone she meets is shocked with just how high she can jump to get snacks! This is Shadow. She was rescued in the dead of winter when she endured the freezing cold day after day. Today, she enjoys the warmth of her very own home with the love of her family and two feline siblings, Jimmy and Peggy. Scooter was just a young puppy when we rescued him. His cage mate, Sophie, was the only companion he’d ever known...until now! Today, he enjoys playing with his Mr. Hedgehog toy and he stays busy with his four canine brothers and sisters: Lolly, Merlin, Digby and Micheal. On behalf of these three new beginnings, thank you for standing with us and fighting cruelty worldwide. Sincerely, Adam Parascandola Director of Animal Protection and Crisis Response Humane Society International
