CAMILLE’S STORY
Camille is a little Tibetan spaniel with huge piercing brown eyes. He was someone’s pet for the first few years of his life.
We will never know how in the scorching heat of August 2015; he came to be on a truck packed tightly in a cage with other stolen pets and strays on the Beijing Highway.
We know that our founder Julia de Cadenet was on hand with a team of Chinese Activists to save him and help provide the medical care so desperately needed to nurse the 140 dogs with him back to health. Julia is a lawyer who first witnessed the horrific dog meat trade in 2009 and decided to do something about it.
The friendships formed caring for little Camille, who had distemper and others liked him, cemented our decision to open a partner shelter in China and care for as many rescues as we can (dogs and cats) until we can find them loving homes.
We now have 500 dogs and cats in the large Hebei
shelter and 200 in our Beijing base, most of these rescued during the pandemic.
We continue to work closely with activists in missions to raid slaughterhouses and stop trucks. And to support them with food and medical supplies. Together we can bring change.
