So after talking to Nami Kim who did some extensive background research on Hae Deul Lee, it’s become clear that she contributed to the dogs situation in a big way. So everyone who donated so far, we can decide to pause the fundraiser until she surrenders all the dogs to a rescue.Now the reality is that currrently no rescue wants them. And it seems that Hae is an animal hoarder. She has received help in the past and the shelter built for her and the dogs wasn’t maintained and the dogs were not properly cared for despite attempts from others to help her. I would like to keep the existing funds in the fundraiser but if you like your donation returned I happily will obey and refund it. It breaks my heart but after consulting with Nami I agree, Hae isn’t interested in helping the dogs that are in her care. If we help her, the dogs suffer it they also suffer if we don’t. Please if you have contacts in S. Korea spread the world. The only way these dogs can be saved is with rescue interest. I will pause the fundraiser for now... whatever remains in the fundraiser will go to the rescue taking them. I however understand if you prefer your donation to be refunded. My heart is broken but this woman refuses to give these dogs up and she apparently has burned a lot bridges with people trying to help.
