China Dog Meat Survivors Need Your Help
Over the past two months, GBR has been working with a rescue organization in China, Together for Animals in China (TACN), to develop a safe and economical plan to transport rescued dog meat goldens from Beijing to GBR. After exhaustive research, we now have a process in place but it’s expensive! We have four dog meat trade survivors ready to come to GBR: Billie, Betty, Blake and Brad, plus Beanie who was rescued from an abusive home. To get these dogs here and continue to rescue our local goldens, we really need your help.
In this picture, the dogs are in a shelter on the edge of Beijing, which is run by Mr. Zhao Xin Qi (pronounced Shin Chee). Along with Ryan, Amy, and Abby (already with GBR – they were our “trial” transport cases) Betty, Brad, Billie, and Blake were rescued from a dog meat truck with 60 other dogs. Beanie was rescued from an abusive owner who released him to a rescuer in China.
These rescue dogs are only a drop in the bucket of the HUNDREDS of goldens who have been rescued from the dog meat trade and are languishing in “shelters” in China (more about the “shelters” in the Read More section.)
How you can help
Please click on the “Read More” link below for details on our China Connection program and how you can help. Caution, the following pages contain disturbing pictures and videos taken during dog meat trade rescues in and around Beijing. Although these images will cause viewers distress, GBR feels that we all must know the ugliness of this industry in order to understand the extent of cruelty these goldens and other breeds/mixes are enduring and why GBR got involved.

If you believe in our cause and can help financially, please do so and help us get these dogs to GBR for adoption. Ask your family and friends to help as well. Remember that every dollar donated will bring these dogs closer to a second chance at living with a loving family.
