Rescue story
In the summer of 2023, WEACT headed to a breeding facility in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do upon receiving a report. Despite having official government approval, the scene was more distressing than anything we had witnessed before. It was filled with severe abuse, illicit euthanizations, unauthorized c-section procedures, and other unlawful practices. Dogs with ruptured eyes, injured limbs, and such severe emaciation that they were in a state of shock were discovered. These unfortunate dogs had endured continuous breeding within cramped cages, with their lives disregarded, devoid of any compassion. Drawing from the evidence gathered at the scene and the tips we had received, WEACT confirmed the harrowing act of using a box cutter to open a mother dog's belly to extract the puppies. We also uncovered a freezer containing over 100 dog carcasses wrapped in newspaper. When the freezer became too crowded, the dogs were illegally buried in the nearby mountains. Initially estimating around 800 dogs at the site, we were ultimately astounded to discover a staggering total of 1,426 dogs. Fortunately, the dedicated efforts of approximately 20 fellow organizations who swiftly offered their assistance, volunteers from across the country, various government agencies, and the cooperation of Gyeonggi-do provided invaluable support for the rescue mission. Together, we achieved an unprecedented miracle by saving all the abused dogs. #weact_sweet was born after her mom was rescued by WEACT.

Help Sweet become familiar with her name so she can respond to the family's voices. Once vaccinations are complete, engage in leash training for walks, expanding her exposure to the world. Introduce manners training so she can befriend various friends, along with consistent indoor potty training. Using Sweet’s favorite treats or kibble as rewards will enhance her focus during training sessions.

Therefore, please continue to provide meticulous care for her health, even as she reaches full maturity.


Ideal family
Sweety is a curious and brave companion who thrives in an environment where her family can dedicate ample time and provide unwavering attention and care. Homes with long hours away or young children may not be suitable. While showing her abundant love, provide appropriate training based on her development, and carefully attend to Sweety's health at each growth stage. An ideal home for Sweety would be pet-free, knowledgeable about raising dogs, and proactive in handling situations. Look forward to Sweety’s growth, and continue to provide attention and love even in adulthood. Sweety seeks a responsible, lifelong family to share sweet days with!
