A man and a rescue dog. Right: Rescue dogs landing at YVR.
This rescue organization in B.C. is saving dogs to give them “a second chance at life in Canada,” and the videos surfacing on social media are super emotional.
China Rescue Dogs has had multiple rescue missions to save dogs "from the meat-trade and slaughterhouses in China and find them forever home," according to Sam Scaman, the communications coordinator for the rescue.
It's "truly an emotional experience considering many of these dogs were hours away from being slaughtered for the meat trade," she added.
A video of one of the organization's rescue missions, which landed in YVR on September 7, started a viral TikTok video with over 16 million views and hundreds of heartfelt comments.

"Once the dogs clear customs, they will come out to cheering volunteers and fosters," said Scaman.
This Vancouverite, who adopted one of these dogs from the rescue on September 7, is posting updates through her TikTok account.
"It's okay now, sweet angel you're safe," read the TikTok.

China Rescue Dogs’ efforts had to be redirected through Canada following the U.S.’s dog import ban last year. However, Canada will soon be under a dog ban of its own — starting September 28, the commercial entry of dogs from countries deemed “high risk” for rabies will no longer be permitted.
