Three dogs rescued from a dog meat farm in Wonju, South Korea are available for adoption at the Camden County Animal Shelter.

The dogs were rescued as part of an international effort to redirect Korean farmers to pursue other economic activities and permanently end the farming of dogs for meat.

“These dogs have overcome insurmountable odds, and have traveled a great distance to find someone to provide them with the love and care they deserve,” said Freeholder Jeff Nash, liaison to the Camden County Animal Shelter. “These dogs, along with other animals, are waiting for you to provide them with their forever home.”

The dogs were provided necessary veterinary attention so they were able to enter the United States. Once in the country, they were given additional medical attention before arriving at shelters that were able to provide the dogs with time to adjust, medical care and extensive behavior rehabilitation and training so they can be adopted.
