When Dog Meat Farms Close: The Rescue Crisis That Comes Next

What happens to the dogs when South Korea’s dog meat farms close?

In this episode of Rescue Tails, Robert Forto and Robin Lucas of Rebel Rescue South Korea discuss the reality behind the country’s transition away from the dog meat industry. Closing farms is only the beginning. Rescue organizations must confront the costs of housing, medical care, rehabilitation, socialization, training, and finding homes for dogs that may have spent their entire lives with little human interaction.

Robin also introduces Sammy, a former farm dog who has lived at Rebel Rescue for five years and represents the long-term commitment that comes with saying yes to a rescue dog.
