Three dogs that were destined to be eaten in a cultural festival in South Korea were saved just in the nick of time by an Indiana rescue shelter.

More than 10,000 dogs are killed each year for the Dog Meat Festival in Asia (try to wrap your head around that one), but when Kathy Martin, president of Lucky Lab Rescue, learned of the pups’ fate, she decided to help save as many dogs as possible.

“These dogs were supposed to be somebody’s dinner and instead they are now here in the U.S. and are now going to great adoptive homes,” Martin said. Daisy, Canon and Nicon, two yellow Labradors and a Golden Retriever, landed safely in Indiana Saturday night.

“To pull these dogs off the conveyer belt off of the plane was just so heartwarming and we were so enlightened (Saturday) night to save these three dogs,” Martin said.

Your dog may not be headed to a cultural festival in South Korea, but when he or she needs a good grooming bring your dog into U-Wash Doggie. We have two convenient locations – one in Newhall and another in Saugus. You can use our self-serve facilities to get your favorite pet cleaned up, or have one of our professional groomers do the job.

We have shampoos, blow dryers and everything you’ll need to do the job right. And the best part? No mess in your bathroom and no clogged up drain full of dog fur!
