The Bansongwon Shelter and junk yard!
On the March 18, 2012, a KARA volunteer team visited Bansongwon shelter to perform a major cleanup.
This shelter is managed by an elderly man who can't do everything himself and therefore needs help.
The place was a mess inside and out.
Many dogs have been rescued from dog farms.
The shelter manager has been working hard to improve the shelter environment for the animals, but has been struggling because of his age and a back problem.
Everyone doing the huge cleanup.
Even the vets from KARA's medical team chipped in.
That woman with the blue apron is the actress Song Hyekyo. She joined our volunteering trip with her colleagues.
She is a dog lover and has adopted several dogs previously. She expressed her willingness to join our volunteering trip to help dogs and got her wish, cleaning up dog poo!
There was a huge pile of papers that had been used to clean animal feces.
That is a lot of poo paper.
Director Yim, KARA's Director joined in to help early in the morning.
After clearing up the yard, shaving work started for the dogs.
There is a dog somewhere underneath all that hair!
The shaving center.
Lunchtime.
After lunch, volunteers started to work on cat room.
Here is the inside of the dog shelter, which was also a mess.
Song heykyo donated new blankets for the dogs. So...
... out with the old and in with the new.
The dogs, shaved and tidied up, enjoying their nice new blankets.
Meanwhile, members from cooperative vets joined us with to give animal vaccinations.
It's good training for the young guys.
Some of the enthusiastic volunteers.
There are a number of companies to thank.
Merial and Estien contributed medicines and will continue to support KARA this year. The will enable us to help animals in private shelters with heart-worm disease protection and parasite prevention medicines
Also, the animal food company, ANF is going to donate 300kg of animal food every month to KARA to help private shelters. Here is this month's load.
Thank you to everyone. It was very hard work but it was a job well done and all made possible thanks to the compassion and diligence of these volunteers.
