From Cage to Cape Town
Could you be their forever home?
Our FOUR PAWS team on the ground in Cambodia together with the Siem Reap Provincial Department of Agriculture in collaboration with the Provincial Commissioner of Police intercepted 61 dogs in 2021 who were destined for a slaughterhouse in Kampong Cham. This first government-led interception came after the banning of dog meat in July 2020.
Following the interception, all the dogs were immediately removed from the overcrowded cages and released into a small holding area. FOUR PAWS teamed up with local organisations ‘Paw Patrol Cambodia’ and ‘Animal Rescue Cambodia’ to provide emergency feeding and medication for the 61 rescued dogs.
After various adoption campaigns in Cambodia and other countries where FOUR PAWS operates, there are five remaining dogs who need to find their forever families.
In collaboration with TEARS Animal Rescue, the five dogs all rescued from the dog meat trade are flying from Cambodia to Cape Town, South Africa where TEARS will facilitate the adoptions. Scroll through the below and meet Gamora, Maximoff, Falcon, Shadow and Drax.
MEET FALCON - ADOPTED
A medium-sized mixed breed with a sleek and shiny tan coat, rescued from the dog meat trade in Cambodia by Four Paws. This sensitive soul may initially be coy and shy, but once you’ve gained her trust, you’ll have a friend for life. Falcon relies on other dogs for confidence and would thrive with a canine companion to show her the ropes. She enjoys the company of other dogs, walks well on a leash and loves playtime. Alert and protective, Falcon is good with kids and is looking for a seasoned dog owner who can help her overcome her fears and gain confidence. If you’re ready to be the hero in Falcon’s rags-to-riches fairy-tale story, she’s patiently waiting to meet you.

MEET SHADOW - ADOPTED
A stunning mixed breed girl with a cream-sable coloured coat and a heart full of love. Despite her challenging past, Shadow is a loving and sweet-natured girl. Initially bashful and coy, she quickly warms up to new people and reveals her silly, goofy side. Comical and playful, Shadow relies on other dogs for confidence and would thrive with a canine friend to show her the ropes. She enjoys playing with toys, going for walks and is good with kids. She has passed a cat assessment and could share her new family with a confident feline friend. If you’re ready to welcome this resilient sweetheart into your home, Shadow is waiting to steal your heart.

While this may not be the end of the dog and cat meat trade problem in Asia, the work being done is a vital component in our approach to combatting it.
This work would also not be possible without our vast network of shelter and project partners in Southeast Asia offering veterinary assistance, care, housing, public outreach, community education and advocacy. In Cambodia, our charity partners’, Paw Patrol Cambodia’ and Animal Rescue Cambodia, provides rescue support and a safe facility where many of our meat trade survivors receive possibly their first gentle touch and affection from a human, first bath and first vet check. And not to forget – all of our supporters who make this possible. With your help, we will continue our journey for an end to this brutal trade.
