50 dogs saved from Korean meat farm are recovering quickly in Montreal shelter
MONTREAL — The 50 terrified dogs and puppies rescued from crammed cages on a South Korean dog meat farm are well on their way to becoming pets in Canada, Humane Society International said.
The dogs — which include terrier crosses, Jindo mixes and Labrador mixes — were recovered with the help of animal advocates in Korea and transported to a Montreal emergency shelter last week.
Executive director Rebecca Aldworth said the dogs were found packed into wire cages with no water or protection from the elements.
They were first flown to Toronto and then transported to Montreal, where they are being treated for a range of ailments, including skin infections, eye infections, matted fur and parasites.
