Message from the HADS Leadership

HADS began as a small group of students who simply wanted to spend time with abandoned dogs and cats on Jeju. Over time, those weekend visits grew into a club that coordinates regular shelter trips, supports local rescues, and helps more students build long term relationships with animals in need.

Our goal is to make animal welfare feel real and local. Every trip is a chance to clean, walk, socialize, and care for animals who are still waiting for a permanent home. At the same time, we learn responsibility, empathy, and what it means to show up consistently for our community.

On behalf of our members and partner shelters, thank you for supporting HADS and the animals we serve.
