No Dogs Left Behind (NDLB), the US-based international non-profit foundation, a leader in global emergency response fighting for global animal welfare laws, and saving the innocent voiceless from slaughter, announced today that it is evacuating its dog meat trade survivors to the USA. “This is an integral part of our plan in our ongoing efforts to save lives in East Asia, to rescue helpless and defenseless dogs from the grasp of butchers and dog traffickers who are collecting them now for the Yulin dog meat festival that begins on June 19th,” explained Jeffrey Beri, NDLB founder. “Urgent funds are needed now and we are reaching out for help to save innocent lives.”
It is estimated that this festival of death is responsible for torturing and killing tens of thousands of helpless dogs for meat consumption. While the slaughter of dogs takes place 365 days a year in East Asia, this “Festival” by far is the cruelest, most barbaric display of violence towards animals in the history of the world. The dogs that are collected for this 10-day event are transported to holding facilities until they have gathered enough dogs to transport to be butchered. They are held in very cramped, deplorable conditions, often without food or water. Once they arrive to their destination, they are then tortured and killed. Often in the worst ways imaginable... by being bludgeoned death, blowtorched, boiled alive, skinned alive and dismembered. All while being fully conscious.
No Dogs Left Behind works hands-on with local activists in East Asia fighting the fight on the front lines, through emergency response, pulling dogs directly from slaughterhouses, dogmeat trucks, wet markets, and traffickers, without exchange of money. “For every dog bought from a butcher, ten more dogs will be slaughtered,” explained Beri. No Dogs Left Behind does not exchange money for dogs. Rather we aim to shut down and intercept dogs being traded and sold by illegal dealers and traffickers. These illegal dog traffickers lack the required documentation for animal trade. This criminal dog cartel often acts as any cartel would with violence and lawlessness. The brave activists and No Dogs Left Behind team risk their own safety for the life of the dogs.
NDLB’s first evacuation of dog meat survivors took place in late March with nearly 48 survivors arriving to the safety of the USA. An additional evacuation of 50 dog meat trade survivors, including Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Pomeranians, will land at JFK International Airport in New York this week. “These are the first two transports by NDLB to the USA since the CDC revised its ban with additional rules for bringing in dogs from banned countries,” said Beri. “All dogs on this second flight, except a few that have already been adopted, will be going to our new Canton, NY Sanctuary, which opened in March 2023,” added Beri. 15 Goldens will be having a short stay in our Canton, NY facility until they begin their journey to the west coast with our rescue partner Golden Bond Rescue. More transports are planned this spring if funding can be secured. “As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, our work is so dependent on the kindness and generosity of dog lovers all around the world, who have joined us to fight the good fight in saving lives. We are reaching out to animal lovers everywhere now to please help us in our efforts to save lives by making a donation,” pleads Beri. “Urgent funds needed. Please fight the good fight with us.”

No Dogs Left Behind (NDLB) has differentiated itself as leaders in emergency response, rescue, and evacuation, making a global impact in the lives of dogs around the world. “We go where no one is willing nor able to go, the most dangerous places in the world, areas hard-hit by natural disasters and war-infested combat zones,” explains Jeffrey Beri, NDLB founder. NDLB’s mission is to fight for an end to the dog meat trade in East Asia, bring about global animal welfare laws and to save lives in East Asia as well as beyond borders including but not limited to the endangered Galgos in Spain, the dogs of war in Ukraine and earthquake survivors from Turkey. The foundation’s mission extends beyond borders, advocating for the creation and enforcement of animal welfare laws, and raising awareness for a cruelty-free, sustainable world in which no animal is violated, exploited, tortured or slaughtered for commercial goods or profit. With nearly 500 survivors in its care, No Dogs Left Behind operates sanctuaries in Dayi in East Asia and now, in Canton, New York, USA.
