Six dogs who were rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea by Humane Society International arrived at the SPCA of Texas in Dallas just after midnight Tuesday. The pups will be evaluated and treated for any medical issues before eventually being put up for adoption.
The six dogs in Dallas are part of a group of 250 dogs and puppies rescued by HSI's Animal Rescue Team from a dog meat farm in Wonju, South Korea.
All of those dogs are now with shelters that are part of The Humane Society of the United States' Emergency Placement Partner program.
HSI worked with the farm owner to permanently shut down his farm and remove all dogs from miserable conditions.
As part of the plan, the farmer signed an agreement with HSI to stop raising dogs for meat and permanently leave the trade.
HSI provided guidance and support to make this transition possible and will follow the farmer's progress to ensure compliance.
