In central Shaanxi Province, China, a group of five elderly women have been operating a custom dog asylum for many last years, caring for over 1,300 stray dogs. Every morning at 4 AM, these lucky canines are treated to 400kg of delicious food.
The shelter was founded in 2009 by Wang Yanfang, a 60-year-old local animal lover who relies on donations from kind-hearted donors. Even on New Year’s Eve, Wang and her colleagues choose to spend their time with the abandoned dogs rather than attending China’s famous firework displays.

The shelter operates solely on donations, and the women prepare 400kg of food every day.
Although China is often portrayed negatively in relation to animal welfare, there are always multiple perspectives to consider.
