About Band for Animal

Band for Animal is an organization of dedicated volunteers in VA who work in partnership with regional rescuers and activists throughout Korea who rescue dogs that are in dire needs due to euthanasia, abandoned or meat-market trade and find them homes in the US. These dogs have very low chance of finding homes in Korea because of the stigma associated with unwanted or mixed dogs.

We are also working to end the dog meat trade in Korea. Our partners in Korea are the front runners in this movement and also passionate activists participating in all rallies to create awareness and to put pressure on the South Korean government in order to put an end to this brutal trade.

We are a passionate and dedicated group of volunteers in DC/VA/MD. We work in partnership with local and regional South Korean dog rescuers/activist and high kill shelters. Many of our dogs come from the brutal dog meat trade and are also puppy mill survivors. These two billion dollar industries work hand in hand with each other. We bring them for adoption to the US because they have a very low chance of ever finding homes in their homeland because of the “stigma” associated with unwanted dogs.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
