Run2TheRescue
Run2TheRescue is a nonprofit dog rescue organization driven by a deep passion for animal welfare. Our team has witnessed firsthand the overwhelming challenges faced by dog and cat rescue efforts in China and South Korea. These dedicated activists on the ground tirelessly rescue dogs and cats from unimaginable cruelty in the meat trade. Sadly, many of these dog meat trade survivors remain forgotten, still waiting for a second chance.
In response to this urgent need, Run2TheRescue was created. Our mission is straightforward: to be a beacon of hope for these courageous activists and the voiceless victims of the dog and cat meat trade. We focus on international dog rescue, fundraising, and outreach to support rescue missions, medical care for rescue dogs, and flight costs for adoptable dogs. Our ultimate goal is to place these hopeful rescue animals in safe, loving forever homes, while continuing to educate and advocate against animal cruelty.
With your help, we can make a difference. Please consider joining our life-saving dog rescue mission by sponsoring a dog, adopting a survivor, fostering, volunteering, or donating.
As River Phoenix wisely said, “Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow.”
RUN. RESCUE. REPEAT!
