The Big 3 Rescue

Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home dogs from the Asian meat trade into loving and forever homes in the US and UK.

More than 30 million dogs/cats are slaughtered annually for food in Asia. We are doing our part to make a difference!

SUPPORT NEEDED ‼️🐶

Many of our China dogs come from a local rescuer’s shelter where she has over 250 dogs rescued from meat trucks & butchers. We take on her most vulnerable dogs and wish we could keep every single one but in the meantime, we want to make them comfortable. So we started our bath and grooming programme where we provide much needed baths & grooms for the dogs at the shelter to make them more comfortable until it’s their turn to be chosen. This only costs £20 per dog and makes the world of difference to them.

And inevitably, every time we do one of these, we end up taking on a few of the most vulnerable dogs - in this instance Mouse and Tom Hiddleston, thanks to our incredible adopter community who are sponsoring their care in China.

As winter is approaching, the shelter environment becomes harder and harder for these pups. We want to provide more of these grooms for shelter dogs and to be able to take as many of these survivors under our care permanently. But we cannot do that without your support. Your donations are the difference between a harsh winter in the shelter & the opportunity to be made comfortable and even find a home.

Please donate to help us help them 🥺

If you’re looking for a dog, we’re happy this post found you 🥹

10/19/2026

Remember earlier this year we rescued 11 dogs from a meat truck after you all rallied round to raise the funds for us to care for them? Well 9 of those babies are now home with their amazing forever families and we are so grateful to you all for making this happen and to their wonderful families for giving them the lives they deserve 🥹🥹🥹. Their story is truly a testament to what a small but dedicated community can achieve when we come together for the dogs.

Our sweet pom Rhodes is still recovering with the vet after her surgery and will be flying to her forever family very soon, and we’ll never forget sweet Jia who passed away shortly after rescue and never got the chance to have a family of his own but was at least surrounded by love in the end.

Thank you to everyone who shared, donated & supported us. These pups are happy and safe and loved forever because of you all. We’re forever grateful 🤍

Our sweet baby boy Flipper is STILL looking for his forever home! 🏠

Flipper was rescued in South Korea and is currently being fostered in Washington DC. He is adoptable on the East Coast, USA (adopters must be willing to pick up).

We can’t understand how this sweetie hasn’t been scooped up yet!

Flipper is under 1 year old, a Doodle mix, and incredibly friendly and affectionate. He gets along well with all other dogs and humans he has met. He is doing great with training (obedience and almost exclusively pottying outside!). Safe to say he has adjusted wonderfully to his foster home.

This boy is truly a dream dog who just wants to love and be loved. 💗

Please help us share Flipper to your East Coast friends / groups / resources. We know his person is out there!

Meet a very, very special boy… MANGO! 🥭

Mango is an absolute fighter with a heart of gold. Rescued in South Korea after being hit by a car while walking outside alone, he underwent spinal surgery and has been working hard in rehabilitation for his hindlimb paralysis.

Despite everything he’s been through, Mango’s spirit is remarkably bright, affectionate, and people-oriented. He loves following his foster mom closely, asking for pets, and going on fast-paced, wheelchair-assisted walks where he can pull slightly ahead and manage slopes like a pro. He is quiet, learns rules quickly, and gets along wonderfully with people and other dogs.

Mango is an extra-special boy who will require an adopter ready to provide some extra TLC. He is currently making wonderful strides in his recovery- recent rehabilitation assessments show exciting signs of nerve return as he regains sensation, and his therapists are hopeful that building core strength could help him walk without a wheelchair in the future. He handles his routine with grace, including manual bladder expression to keep him healthy and independent bowel movements.

🤍 Breed: Corgi Mix (Neutered Male)
🤍 Age: 5 Years Old
🤍 Weight: 17.5lbs
🤍 Personality: Affectionate, eager to please, playful, and a total sweetheart who loves everyone he meets.

Mango is hoping for a dedicated, loving family who will give him the specialized care, support, and lifelong devotion he needs to help him make a full recovery and thrive.

✈️ Adoptable in the USA (can fly directly into many major US airports).

This is Moo, previously Mollie. She was saved by The Big 3 Rescue where she underwent extensive ear surgery due to an ear infection. This left her a little bit wobbly on her feet, but she manages fantastic and has recovered incredibly well. She's a lot more stable than she used to be, and we love updates like these.

Moo went for a groom and now she's Halloween ready. For now, we'll nickname her Boo. 👻

Moo, who I'm calling Boo for Halloween, has had a groom 😘

Introducing Yogi ✨

This happy little girl is one of the 6 dogs we took in from the local shelter after we brought them back to get them bathed and couldn’t bare to send them back. The team said she is just the happiest little girl, full of love and joy. The vets estimate she’s 7-8 years old but she is so incredibly playful and still acts like a happy little puppy 🥹. She can be adopted anywhere in the UK and whoever gets to give this little girl her forever home is going to be so lucky!

Thank you to our wonderful adopter Paula Nolan for donating towards her care and giving this beautiful girl a name. And a huge thank you everyone who has donated to our gofundme so far. We still have a long way to go but we couldn’t say no to these pups so any further donations to help get them healthy would be so appreciated (link in bio): gofund.me/6a948a6c8

Meet Shushu! 🐾

At just 2.5 years old and 26 lbs, Shushu is a true survivor. Rescued in South Korea, where she spent her early days living among trash outdoors and surviving on food scraps tossed once every two weeks, she has proven to be an absolute fighter.

Despite her heartbreaking past, Shushu’s spirit remains remarkably gentle and sweet. She’s quiet (barely ever barks!) and loves offering the softest little smiles as she builds trust with her foster family.
Shushu is adjusting to home life with so much grace. She gets along great with other dogs she has met, loves making human friends, and is taking to city life like a total pro - walking beautifully on a leash and staying completely unfazed by loud noises or others on the street.

Shushu
🤍Breed: Terrier Mix
🤍Gender: Female
🤍Age: 2.5 Years Old
🤍Weight: 26lbs
🤍Personality: Quiet, gentle, sweet - a friend to all! Shushu is a friendly and social girl.

She is so ready to find a forever family who will shower her with the lifelong love she’s never experienced, and always deserved.

✈️ Adoptable in the USA (can fly directly into many major US airports).
