K9R recently received a generous grant of $10,000 from an anonymous donor. We donated this to @beaglerescuenetwork (BRN) in Korea. This will enable them to install the severely needed electrical grid at Aerinwon quickly, now known as the Boeun Shelter, to provide heat for the 500 dogs suffering in the brutal cold. The shelter is now located in the Chungcheongnam-do province of Korea, where snow has been falling daily, and the temperatures have dropped to 12 degrees F with freezing winds. No living being should suffer in these conditions.

We’re grateful to the volunteers who bravely break the ice in the water bowls daily. They try desperately to keep up with the dog’s blankets that freeze within minutes and jackets daily. But they know it’s not enough. This lifesaving grant from KK9R will enable BRN to install the electrical system this Wednesday. They will then be able to set up heat lamps and hot plates so the dogs can survive the winter.

If you tuned in last Wednesday to our “Christmas in Bundang” Livestream, you met Leah from BRN; she explained the freezing conditions at Boeun. KK9R felt we had to do something about it immediately, and we are so thankful to generous donors who believe in our mission. Together with @kk9r.kr_hy and @koreank9rescue.kr we will continue to support the dogs at Boeun shelter to ensure the electricity and heat are always running. We will also keep pulling as many dogs as possible for rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption. We have helped over 300 Aerinwon dogs find homes in the NYC tri-state area, and we won’t stop.

Thank you to all our supporters who have enabled us to do this lifesaving work. We hope you will continue to support our efforts to help the most vulnerable dogs in need this holiday season. Please consider donating to our mission so we can continue to assist more dogs in need of help.

We hope this rescue mission inspires to join the dog rescue movement! ⁠Our adoption radius currently includes select areas within New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., Maryland, and Massachusetts.
