She and her team have kept their promise, as 26 other dogs have just set foot on North American soil from China, as reported by Northwest Asian Weekly this Thursday, June 10.

This is what the volunteers of China Rescue Dogs have been working since the summer of 2019; save as many dogs as possible for the dog meat market in China, then bring them to the United States where they are adopted. In 2 years, more than 600 animals have had this chance thanks to the organization founded by Jill Stewart .
The latter had decided to embark on the adventure after adopting Meeso , a Golden Retriever with a disability. He wandered the Chinese streets before being taken in by monks, thanks to which he no longer risked being shot to supply the dog meat market.
