IndyHumane is one of 50 organizations in 25 states receiving over $300,000 in funding from the group. Since 2008, The Grey Muzzle Organization has provided over $1 million in grants in support of its “vision of a world where no old dog dies alone and afraid.”

A group of dogs rescued from a dog meat farm in rural Yesan, South Korea, by Humane Society International (HSI) will be arriving at the Humane Society of Indianapolis (IndyHumane) this week. 

This is the ninth dog meat farm that Humane Society International has permanently closed since 2014, rescuing and rehoming nearly 1,000 dogs by working in cooperation with dog meat farmers keen to get out of the trade. The farm in Yesan contained 149 dogs, including puppies, all of whom will be rescued and transported to the US this month. The Humane Society of Indianapolis will receive and care for a group of these dogs.
