Guardians of Rescue Inc.

Would you eat your best friend for lunch or dinner? Of course not! Thousands of dogs are killed for meat after being dragged around in nets, and squished into cages piled up, the smell of death surrounding them. Sadly, this is not just happening in Korea.
Guardians of Rescue is on this mission with Nami Kim of Savekoreandogs to END the horrific dog meat trade. She sees the slaughter daily with her own eyes. Help us get dogs out of these situations and the meat markets.
In Korea dogs are slaughtered every day. Dogs are raised for slaughter on dog meat farms.They are even stolen from loving families and brutally beaten to death, to tenderize the meat before cooking into stew and soup!
It’s not easy to see and hear about this,but close your eyes and nothing will ever be done! This is just one horrible way people make money in the dog meat trade .
No its not poor people trying to survive. Although both men and woman eat dog, mostly men make up the large demand. Men believe just eating the (penis) will enhance their virility. They believe by eating a dog they will always stay cool in the summer. This is not about feeding the poor. This is a cultural belief that needs immediate change.

Home Again: Operation Support Our Troops
This program is a part of our Veterans and Military Affairs efforts, assisting returning service men and women in adopting a dog or cat from an animal shelter when they return home or bringing back a pet rescued during their deployment.
Guardians of Rescue volunteers act as a special shelter liaison, helping with selection, completion of the adoption process, and training for both the animal and owner. We assist with the logistics of getting a pet home from the area where the service men and women are deployed, and making sure the animal adapts to US life, by providing whatever training is needed.
Many men and women in the service are also faced with the dilemma of pet care when deployed on active duty, and are often stuck with no positive alternatives. Animals they adopt while on deployment are in need of safe transport home, and this can be difficult to organize. The therapeutic benefit these animals provide is immeasurable, and these men and women need our support.

The Next Generation Guardians are a group of young people from all walks of life. Their goal is to “learn the ropes” of animal rescue, and be the change for our future.
This program is a very important aspect of our mission. It is presented at public middle schools, high schools, Boy & Girl Scout troops, vocational schools and residential facilities for at risk youth. This program encompasses a number of animal welfare related topics, such as:
• How to recognize the signs of animal abuse and neglect, and how to report it in the proper manner.
• How to fight animal abuse and help defend creatures that cannot themselves.
• Why dog fighting is wrong and morally reprehensible and why it cannot be tolerated.
To further the impact of our Humane Education program and further empower students, Guardians of Rescue works with schools and school districts to organize food and supply drives to benefit their local shelters, and assist them with our “Sponsor a Shelter Pet” initiative.

Guardians of Rescue has been instrumental in assisting companion animals following natural disasters that impose destruction on these innocent lives. We do not wait for an invite– Guardian agents are on the ground immediately! While emergency management agencies deal with everything from downed power lines to human lives, our heroes are on the ground tending to traumatized and helpless cats, dogs and all animals.

The Guardians want families to stay together.

In times of hardship, either due to economic reasons, unemployment, changes in life, or catastrophic events, unfortunately, most often it is the pets that are the first to go, and often it is to kill shelters where, sadly, relinquished pets are among the first to be destroyed.

The Helping Families, Saving Pets program is designed to keep families together during these most challenging of times, as this is when people need their pets as much as their pets need them. Guardians of Rescue assists families with food for their animals to help ensure that these families stay together and pets are not taken from their families and avoidably euthanized.

​This program works in a couple of ways by providing:
Pet food and supplies
Transportation of animals for vet care for disabled and home-bound owners.
Through this program, we can drastically cut down on the number of cases where people are unable to afford to feed and care for their pet, and re

The philosophy of the program is simple: If you SEE an animal in an abusive, neglectful, dangerous or life threatening situation, SAY something, so actions can be put into place to SAVE the innocent animal. If nothing is said, nothing can be done.

Silence = Suffering
The SEE and SAY portion of this program encourages the public to be aware of their surroundings. Dogs on chains without food, water or shelter, need to be reported. Injured cats need help. Signs of dog fighting activity or other abuse and neglect animals needs to be made known. There are resources and law enforcement out there to help. Animals can’t speak out, but people can.

The SAVE portion of this program encompasses all aspects of our life-saving rescue operations, from getting animals relinquished from situations of neglect to investigations of dog fighting and other animal felonies. Rarely are they easy and most often, challenging and dangerous. But we know it is a matter of life and death.
