A broken soul, failed so miserably by humans & can’t even bear to turn around. Terrified & biting anyone that goes near 🥹. Haven’t seen a dog this traumatised in a long time.

It warms our hearts to see wagging tails. It’s remarkable that after being subjected to the worst of humanity that their little hearts are ready to love humans again. We’re committed to creating happy endings for these dogs, giving them the opportunity to know love and be safe.
We worked tirelessly to save innocent souls from Yulin and provided a lifeline to refuge otherwise doomed dogs and cats. All rescues were shown on our social media, as will our Yulin dogs & cats onward journeys. We now wrap up our month in Yulin.

Loyal, innocent beings reduced to this. China say they recognise dogs as companion animals. but those words mean NOTHING. They continue to treat them as livestock. This place is full of mass corruption and greed. The lightest day of the year is the darkest for dogs
#Yulin2023
This is because of YOU
@AnimalLeague
! Ribbon was under your care when he arrived from the China, but when the adoption didn’t work out YOU REFUSED TO TAKE HIM BACK. How is that acceptable? Poor dog has spent 4 years in a public shelter because YOU FAILED HIM!
Live dogs can be found away from the main markets. We saw this place preparing dog meat with lots of dead dogs out front. In the back we noticed a cage with 3 terrified souls inside. All 3 are now safe in vet ! To help ➡️

Some dog meat stalls in

Claude, our Great Pyrenees! Much like a Samoyed but twice the size! He’s a big boy and it took 2 people to lift him in to the bathing area. The dogs generally don’t love trips to the groomer but they’re always happy, handsome and revitalised afterwards.
