Every Day, These Elderly Chinese Women Wake Up At 4AM To Feed 1,300 Stray Dogs

For the past six years, a group of five elderly women in China’s central Shaanxi Province have been looking after over 1,300 stray dogs at their very own custom dog asylum. At 4AM every morning, these lucky canines get treated with 400kg of tasty food.
The shelter was established back in 2009 by 60-year-old local Wang Yanfang. This animal-lover has been relying solely on donations from generous well-wishers. Foregoing China‘s notoriously extravagant firework displays, Wang and her trusted colleagues even spent New Year‘s Eve with the abandoned strays.
One of the ladies admitted that the dogs aren’t always the friendliest of pups, as they occasionally receive bites and nips. However, that’s never put Wang off her beloved dogs. Far from it, according to Tencent News, she remarked: “They’re like your children, you can’t bear to be apart from them, or to lose them.” They don’t call them man’s best friend for nothing!

The 60-and-over caretakers are totally devoted, even spending New Years’ Eve with the dogs
“They’re like your children, you can’t bear to be apart from them, or to lose them”
They’ve even been nipped at, but it’s all part of the job
The huge shelter is run entirely on donations, and the ladies prepare 400kg of food daily
China often gets bad press where animals are concerned, but there’s always more than one side to a story!

I hope they're also sterilizing them, otherwise this is not going to end well.
The same thing I thought of.
I agree.Although the dog feeders provide better living environments for them,they have been bitten.I think that they may get infected.
I think he meant neutering.
Very encouraging to see people DO care and protect rather than abuse and consume. Well done those lovely ladies
Yes great and kind old souls... we need more of this in the world.
Turn it into a puppy theme park..... instead oif feeding the duck feed the pups!
Now in China,there are too many people having dog meat for their meals.However,there are some people who care about dogs. Respect !!! :3
You shouldn't think that dog eating is common, it's only the really fucked up people that do it.

And what do you think Indians feel about us eating cows? You sound like an idiot
You made me cut myself Elizabeth
Taiwan also needs help. They could use a program like this. Taiwan Animal Shelters don't have enough food to feed their homeless dogs.
Those are some good looking dogs. They look well cared for. They look like they get brushed and bathed on a regular basis.
I noticed that also. They all look very well taken care of, healthy coats, and they look to be a good weight too
I hope there would be more people who will care for animals as they are care for humans. I admire so much this Chinese ladies who have a go
That's great , surprised they all get along and where did they all come from to get to this point in life. Sad state of afair .....
They have huge, brand new plants up & running for the IVORY to be made into clutter for your home. They don’t care.
Please go to the web site on Facebook. Very disturbing. CARE2.org. God Bless this woman. CHINA is disgusting,
Petition Name ——— Care2.org Please follow this site and SIGN all the very important petitions. 1500 dogs have been captured for EATING.
This is a post from March. The lady has a great heart to help the dogs. Fast forward to a petition going around that everyone should see.
Who rakes the yard? With arthritic knees and mobility issues I can't even entertain the idea of one dog. Boo hoo. Dog birth control?
I am teary looking at the photos. I've seen a similar documentary on a Korean old lady who used to feed dogs but neighbors hated her. Bless.
How can I donate money to help these kind souls and their dogs?
so helpful women
This is amazing how much this woman cares. We need more people like this in our world
Glad to see these dogs are treated well. #BasicNeeds
That's cool
MArvellous what wonderful people.
Please let me know how I can get in touch with them!
Bless the beasts and bless the humans who care for them..
Where does one donate? Securely? jabrams
Yea-; dogs and cats - the national dish in China. they fed them specifically and sell them for meat.
No, not that stereotype again, it's not commonly eaten around in the country, if you actually visit it, you can find out
It is heartbreaking to see so many animals crowded together. Bless them for trying to help the dogs.
great
I think this is wonderful. The neutering/speying thing worries me too.
y despues lo vende para q los chinos hijos de puta se los coman
Bless these ladies. People should know there are plenty of kindhearted people in China.
I am sure they are -- big movement for that in China
me parece maravilloso, ojala muchos fueran como ellas
that is so caring. i definitely could not do that. really 4am yeah no way
That's very touching!!! I have only respect for kind!!!
This is spectacular.
nice job
This is so sweet! But what do they mean by "nipped at"
Shes cutting the nails of the dogs, most pooches dont like it.
and it doesn't hurt the dogs unless u cut it too deep, just like us.
nipped, as in bitten but a far less bad version. Nibbling
Lol no I'm talking about the scissors and the paws. Revisit the picture. It's in the article.
they eat them! they are probably fattening them up for slaughter. I use to live in a place where they sold live dogs for slaughter (food).
Quit it
