Spending months awaiting death in the filthy confines of a South Korean slaughterhouse leaves young puppies with little idea of comfort.
S pending months awaiting death in the filthy confines of a South Korean slaughterhouse leaves young puppies with little idea of comfort.
Freedom, if it ever arrives, brings an unexpected set of challenges for those once destined for dinner plates, as they struggle to learn how to lie down on soft surfaces for the first time.
Now, six dogs recently rescued from a squalid meat farm in Gyeonggi-do province, near Seoul, are looking for a UK home to call their own in time for Christmas.
The new arrivals – Nara, Dermot, Millie, Luna, Sandie and Olive – are said to inhabit an “eternal state of puppyhood” as they discover a world beyond the cramped cages of their early lives.
They were among 200 dogs saved from the farm by charity Humane Society International.
M ost have been sent to the US and Canada, but nine were flown to the UK, three of whom have already been rehomed, including with comedian Alan Carr.
Owners for the remaining six are now being sought by All Dogs Matter, a rehoming centre in Walthamstow, London, which has set up an adoption application site online.
