\u00a0<\/h1>\n

THE NEED<\/h1>\n

For the many dogs trapped in Asia\u2019s meat trade industry, life is constant suffering and sadness ending in cruel painful deaths.\u00a0 Terrible, heartbreaking images of their plight will stay with us forever.\u00a0 Many people turn away.\u00a0 We cannot.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h1>\n

THE MISSION<\/h1>\n

Rescue Friends Animal Foundation have partnered with variety of international rescue organizations\u200b whose mission is to save as many dogs as they can with very limited resources.\u00a0\u00a0 These dogs come directly or indirectly from the meat trade, pulled from shelters, puppy mills, and local markets. All of them were saved from torture and slaughter.\u00a0 Sadly, we cannot rescue them all but we can rescue some.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h1>\n

THE DOGS<\/h1>\n

Transport costs vary according to size and weight, making it easier to rescue a larger number of small dogs.\u00a0 Also, the scarcity of small dogs in the rescue world means there are families here anxiously waiting to find their new member.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h1>\n

THE JOURNEY<\/h1>\n

After the dogs are out of danger and in the care of one of our international rescue partners, they are assessed and fostered. Most require extensive medical treatments due to infections and extreme malnutrition or abuse injuries and common illnesses.\u00a0\u00a0 They must be spayed or neutered and vaccinated before obtaining exit paperwork. Then, the big journey begins starting with transport from Asia to North America.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h1>\n

THE COSTS<\/h1>\n

Adoption fee per international rescue: varies<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0 As a non-profit foundation, we are committed to keeping fees as low as possible and only aim to cover most of the necessary costs which enables us to rescue more dogs living in terror. We do not profit from these dogs.<\/p>\n

The costs to rescue and transport:
– Veterinarian expenses
– Medical supplies
– Agent fees
– Ground and flight transport in China
– Transport between Quarantine Centre and Airport
– Veterinary Inspection Fees
– Flight costs to North America
– Brokerage and customs fees
– Ground transport from LA to Canada
– Hotels for the transport team
– Boarding kennel fees
– Grooming and basic care costs<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h1>\n

THE REQUEST<\/h1>\n

If you have been looking for a small dog and do not want to support backyard breeders and pet stores selling puppy mill dogs, please consider one of these amazing animals who have been through so much and deserve to be loved.<\/p>\n

If you cannot adopt at this time, please donate supplies, sponsor one of the dogs, or send a donation towards the animals via etransfer to info@rescuefriends.ca.<\/p>\n

If you can, please volunteer or foster to help our local animals.<\/p>\n

Please spread the word, follow Rescue Friends Animal Foundation and international rescue partners on Facebook and Instagram, and encourage others to ADOPT NOT SHOP.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h1>\n

Q: Is the dog meat trade still an issue in Asia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Yes.\u00a0 There are an estimated 30 million dogs slaughtered for meat every year in Asia, dogs of all types and sizes.\u00a0 A number of local and international groups are combatting this horrific industry and successfully shutting down farms that raise animals for the dog meat trade.\u00a0 However, there are still many animals that need to be rescued or have already been taken out of the meat trade and require homes.<\/p>\n

For more information:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.hsi.org\/news-media\/dog-meat-trade-faqs\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Q: Why are dogs that appear pure bred used in the meat trade?\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t they be more valuable to be marketed as pets in China?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 Currently in China there is a large pet industry.\u00a0 This encourages puppy mills which creates an overabundance of unwanted dogs who often end up with meat traders.\u00a0 Also many people buy cute puppies but once they become adults the \u2018owners\u2019 lose interest and put them on the street. \u00a0If they are rescued, they go to shelters that are overwhelmed – filled with dogs of all sizes: \u00a0pure bred types as well as mixed breeds.\u00a0 Rescuers are left with the hard task of choosing which dogs to save and sadly must make decisions based on which dogs are most likely to find homes.<\/p>\n

Q: Wouldn\u2019t the dog meat trade prefer large dogs instead of small breeds?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 The dog (and cat) meat trade includes animals of all sizes and breeds.\u00a0 Dog meat is used in various ways just as various size animals are raised and slaughtered in other cultures.\u00a0 To be blunt, there are many pot sizes \u2013 don\u2019t think that just because a dog is small, they are safe from harm.<\/p>\n

Q: Who are your international rescue partners?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: We vet the organizations we partner with to the best of our abilities, checking references, charity status, reviewing medical and operational policies, online reviews, and other partner group experiences, we also try to build a rapport with the people who run the other groups to ensure our values and policies align.<\/p>\n

Q: Where do the dogs actually come from? <\/strong><\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 Some of our partners pull from local shelters, some filled with several thousands of dogs, most saved from the local meat trade by local activists and shelter workers.\u00a0 They also rescue dogs from puppy mills that are shutting down or reducing their stock and typically \u2018dispose\u2019 of unwanted animals to a meat trader.\u00a0 At times animals also come into the rescue network when local activists manage to stop meat trucks who often do not have proper permits.\u00a0 By involving agriculture authorities these animals are seized and saved from slaughter. Some dogs come from police raids, this means that dogs have been seized by authorities after being deemed too large or exceeding local size restrictions of certain municipalities.<\/p>\n

Q: What kind of medical treatment have the dogs received? <\/strong><\/p>\n

A: \u00a0Partner organizations follow extensive medical protocols once they are part of the rescue group, treating issues from skin disease, malnutrition, common illnesses and injuries.\u00a0 All dogs are fully medically vetted, spayed or neutered, and vaccinated.\u00a0 Dogs are typically in care for months to ensure proper quarantine has taken place.<\/p>\n

Q: It sounds like these dogs have lived in horrible conditions.\u00a0 Are they afraid of humans? \u00a0Are the dogs friendly? <\/strong><\/p>\n

A: \u00a0Many of these dogs have lived their lives in a cage where they have at least been given food and water.\u00a0 This means the dogs associate humans with something good, however minimal.\u00a0 The dogs that were pets have actually known care and handling before being discarded.\u00a0 Of course, every case is unique but as part of the rescue process, they all go into foster care while being medically treated. In these homes they are loved and cared for while becoming healthy physically and emotionally as they wait for the journey abroad.<\/p>\n

Q: Why bring dogs from China?\u00a0 Why not rescue dogs locally?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

A: We absolutely believe in rescuing locally and are committed to it.\u00a0 It is probably safe to say that everyone involved in this venture is also active in local rescue.\u00a0 We decided to take on this initiative for 2 main reasons.\u00a0 First if there is not an alternative for these dogs, they would be killed in ways too graphic to describe.\u00a0 Secondly, there is a need for small breed dogs in the adoption world.\u00a0 We believe in \u2018adopt not shop\u2019 and do not want people to turn to backyard breeders and stores selling puppy mill puppies.<\/p>\n

Q: By rescuing dogs from the meat trade are you worried you are just supporting the industry in some way?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: This is a huge question and needs to be seen from both the micro and macro perspectives.\u00a0 At the local level, our partner organizations do not buy dogs.\u00a0 They do not give money to the meat trade industry.\u00a0 They are taking in strays, discarded puppy mill dogs, or pulling dogs from over populated shelters.\u00a0 These local activists work so hard and without overseas partners to help them, they would simply not be able to save lives.<\/p>\n

As you can see by the large number of dogs slaughtered each year, the small amount saved doesn\u2019t seem to have much impact.\u00a0 But it certainly impacts each dog.\u00a0 To many people in the world, these sentient beings are worth saving and deserve to live. This is the example we want to set and if we can help, we believe we must.<\/p>\n

While each individual dog matters, this issue also requires a macro approach and thankfully there are many large, well established international groups who are actively working at shutting down meat farms, meat markets, and slaughter festivals while at the same time lobbying governments for change.\u00a0 We hope you will support these groups.<\/p>\n
