Bo Ai Animal Protection Centre of Guangyuan

Bo Ai Animal Protection Centre of Guangyuan, situated in Sichuan, China, was founded in 2008 by Du Yufeng after the Great Sichuan Earthquake.

After the earthquake the local government wanted to kill the stray dogs to prevent the spread of disease but Du approached the government, telling them that she would take in the dogs. They agreed. Bo Ai (meaning Universal Love) Centre was born.

Even before Bo Ai Centre was opened, Du Yufeng was rescuing animals. In 2003 she saved 20 dogs and she credits her father, who raised her and her 5 siblings alone after their mother died, for her love of animals.
"When I was small, Dad bought us rabbits, sheep, ducks, pigeons, cats and dogs. A representative of each species was entrusted to each of us to care for".
