An estimated two million dogs are killed in South Korea annually due to dog-meat demands.

The country is one of a handful in Asia (China, Vietnam, and the Philippines being the others) that still eat dog.

Stray and lost dogs are often picked up and sold to meat markets. Not to mention the countless other animals in the country that are used for cosmetic or laboratory testing.

However, one South Korean man literally spends his life trying to save as many animals as he can.

Located just southwest of Seoul, Asan Animal Shelter is a no-kill facility that provides refuge for stray, abandoned and abused dogs and cats.

Owned by Mr. Park, the shelter is assisted by volunteers who work to rehabilitate animals and find them homes before it’s too late.
