Chinese Woman Adopts 1,500 Stray Dogs and 200 Cats
Many of the animal stories that come out of China are tales of horror. Eating dogs and cats, slaughtering endangered animals for their body parts, skinning alive dogs,foxesm etc. for their fur, milking bile from moon bears kept in tiny cages their whole life. The list goes on and on. It is hard to believe sometimes that the people who do this are really human? But as much as these stories tend to overwhelm us there is as always another side to these stories from China.
Ha Wenjin is a dog lover from China who has sacrificed her own life and lifestyle to help the homeless and marked for consumption dogs and cats there. She has had to give up her job, sold her house, car and jewelry to take care of over 1,500 dogs and 200 cats. Despite these large numbers that she cares for it is still just a drop in the bucket for the homeless animals in China. But this fact does not deter her and the resourceful woman has managed to keep the facility going outside Nanjing until now.
The middle-aged woman started out with just a few dogs that she could take care of in her spare time, but as their numbers increased, she had to give up her career and spend her entire day taking care of their needs. Before long, she had her own personal animal shelter, along with 10 workers who look after the dogs, and 2 more who take care of the cats. She also had a number of volunteers coming in at least once a week to check on the dogs, and people donated most of the food she needed.
But now she is being forced to move the 1,500 dogs and 200 cats to a new home. The Chinese government officials have reclaimed the land the shelter is built on and are threatening to close the place down. Ha Wenjin had to act quickly to find an inexpensive but large enough space where she could relocate her beloved pets to. She managed to find it in the Houyu village, which is far away enough away from other people, because she is the first to admit that 1,500 dogs are not quiet.
She has also acquired four buses to move the animals in but still needs to find enough volunteers to help move and then clean the buses afterward. Ha Wenjin definitely has her work cut out for her, but she has no intention of giving up in her fight to save as many stray dogs and cats as she can. She is a shining example of what the human spirit can accomplish when they are passionate about something despite the overwhelming odds against her. And in China that is saying a whole lot.

wow!!! I am speechless!! I hope she gets lots of support of every kind.
You are an earth angel and my hero. Thank you for helping these amazing creatures, there are no words powerful enough to express my joy and admiration for you.
Yes where do we send donations?
IF I COULD DO THIS I COULD. EVERYONE PLEASE HELP ANIMALS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES
While I commend this lady, I have to wonder if she spays/neuters the animals because otherwise, she is just making the situation worse. I love animals more than people, but unless they are spayed/neutered, the amount of dogs/cats are only going to increase EXPONENTIALLY. I didn't recall reading anything about them being spayed/neutered. I just hope she does. Otherwise, I'd love to try and help out in some way.
You are truly a real life Angel !! May God Bless you for your devotion and love for our friends the animals for they are voiceless and defenceless , I pray you get lots of help and money from donations and volunteers you deserve it and i pray you remain in good health and longevity so you can continue doing you life saving beautiful work.
