Korean Animal Protection Society provides animal rescue and welfare services, lobbies, and organizes protest events within Korea. KAPS are dedicated to ending the plight of companion animals in Korea. KAPS has provided care for needy dogs and cats in Korea and helped to create a statutory framework for future animal protection in Korea. They have been raising awareness about the cruelty and injustice inflicted upon dogs and cats within Korea. But much more needed to be done and KAPS will not rest till the torturing, slaughter and consumption of dogs and cats will come to an end. |

Many animals rescued by the Korea Animal Protection Society are not lucky enough to find a new home with a loving family. There are many dogs and cats who stay in the KAPS shelter for years, putting strain on already stretched resources of KAPS. To secure them a safe and happy future, KAPS introduced a sponsorship scheme in Korea and the scheme has now started in UK. Stories of animals rescued by KAPS
KAPS continues to rescue and provide a safe heaven for abused and neglected companion animals who would have met a tragic end without KAPS's intervention. There are over 400 dogs and cats at the sanctuary. Despite crowded circumstances, the dogs and cats in the sanctuary are happy and well cared for. All rescued animals are neutered at the sanctuary before adoption. The sanctuary is also a place where children and young people communicate with and learn about animals. Stray puppies and Kilnam Korean cross puppies are hard to find loving home. KAPS have several
of them in the shelter, rescued by KAPS Korean members while wandering
around the street. They are all healthy and lovable.
 Kilnam was a stray dog, wandering around the street in Sincheon-dong, Daegu. The residents asked us to capture him as soon as possible. They believed him dangerous because he was a big dog.Stray dogs often fear people. Kilnam was no exception. When he saw our rescue team, he ran towards the opposite direction. One of our rescue team managed to capture him with a net. However, after just one day at the shelter, he began to show his gentle and friendly nature. Kilnam is very good with puppies. And the puppies love Kilnam. |

Reri and Kupun: a symbiotic relationship Kupun was rescued and brought to the shelter by KAPS member Suin Jeong. She was wandering around in an apartment block, looking for food. Suin felt sorry for the little puppy and took Kupun to her flat to provide a temporary shelter and food. She told the staff that Kupun was a very intelligent puppy. She was already housetrained and behaved in a thoughtful and careful manner that Suin found it hard to believe that Kupun was still a little puppy. |

Suheon sent the above photos to a contest and was offered the first prize. But she changed it to the second prize to spoil the shelter animals with special treats on her next visit to the shelter. Taegu City finally recognises Sunnan's animal protection efforts |
|
|
The tireless efforts of KAPS for Korean animals have been formally recognised by Taegu city. On the 1st of July 2004, Sunnan received an award from Taegu city for her heartbreaking work, setting up an animal shelter, looking after stray animals and campaigning against animal abuse. This was the first time in Korea for anyone to receive an award from a local government for his or her contribution to animal protection. Taegu city praised her for improving the international image of the city through her animal work. |
|
We find this view highly encouraging for Korean animals and hope that the Korean government will one day come to understand that the only way to improve Korea's tainted image is to respect and work with caring Koreans to root out the very cause.
