On November 27, LetsRun Park visited the Busan Animal Protection Center in Gangseo-gu, Busan, where they delivered adoption kits for abandoned animals and carried out volunteer work with their staff members.


With the recent decline in the adoption rate of abandoned animals in Korea, animal shelters are facing increasing operational burdens. This initiative went beyond a simple donation of goods, placing emphasis on “hands-on social contribution.” LetsRun Park not only provided adoption kits that the shelter actually needed, but also participated in on-site activities such as caring for the animals and improving the shelter environment.


Employees who volunteered that day focused on care-centered activities, including cleaning the shelter, inspecting facilities, and assisting with walking and playing with the dogs. These efforts were aimed at providing practical support to reduce the animals’ stress and improve their living conditions.


An official from the Busan Animal Protection Center stated, “As the adoption rate declines, the length of stay for animals is increasing, bringing the shelter’s operational capacity close to its limit. At a time when attention from the local community and businesses is desperately needed, the donation and volunteer work from LetsRun Park is a great help.”



Eom Youngseok, Head of LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam, emphasized, “As an institution based on the horse industry, we have an even greater responsibility for animal welfare. We will continue to support animal protection activities in the region, including horse welfare.”
