We didn’t plan this rescue. But we had to save them all.
Yesterday, Korean K9 Rescue and our Lucy’s Hope Team responded to a devastating wildfire in Uiseong, South Korea.
We mobilized quickly with supplies to help animals displaced by the fires—but what we found hidden behind a partially burned-down farm was unimaginable.
Nineteen dogs.
Trapped inside rusted cages on an illegal dog meat farm.
Surrounded by wildfire smoke.
Eating rotting food waste.
Just hours away from being burned alive.
There was also a goat with severe burns and eye trauma, and a cat scorched by flames. Thanks to Team Lucy’s Hope, both were rushed to safety and are receiving emergency vet care.
We didn’t have time to plan.
The fire was moving fast.
The destruction had already claimed 4 human lives and scorched more than 22,000 acres—an area larger than 17 Central Parks.
We acted on instinct.
And we got them all out.
Now they’re safe—but far from okay.
These survivors are weak, traumatized, and suffering from severe smoke inhalation. They’ll need months of intensive care, recovery, and support to heal.
🐾 We’re raising $10,000 to fund their recovery—and every dollar will be matched!
