We Need To Talk About Wang Wang..
here are some petitions!
1. Justice for Wang Wang — demand a national anti-cruelty law in China
This is probably the most directly relevant petition to what you’re looking for. It was created in July 2026 and is calling for stronger legal protection for animals and a national anti-cruelty law. It currently has 9,384 verified signatures.

2. Stop animal cruelty in China: justice for Guo and Chutou
This petition asks for justice in a specific cruelty case while also calling for stronger animal-protection laws, action against animal abuse and an end to the dog and cat meat industry. It was created in June 2026 and currently has about 2,140 verified signatures.

3. End Animal Cruelty Now — demand stronger animal protection laws in China & Southeast Asia
This broader petition specifically names the Chinese government, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and National People's Congress among its decision-makers. It was created in March 2026 and currently has 3,521 verified signatures.

⚠️ One old petition to avoid
There is a well-known Change.org petition called “Prevent cruelty to dogs and cats in China”, started by the International Fund for Animal Welfare. It has 25,949 signatures, but it is closed, so it isn't one I'd direct people toward now.
There is also an old iPetitions campaign about stopping the slaughter of dogs and cats in China, but it was created almost 20 years ago and is clearly outdated.
⭐ Something especially interesting right now
There appears to be a real legislative-comment opportunity in Beijing, rather than just an online petition. A recent update to the Wang Wang campaign says public comments on the draft Beijing Dog Management Regulation are open until September 3, 2026, with submissions directed to fagongwei@bjrd.gov.cn.
That is potentially more meaningful than signing another generic petition because it is tied to an actual draft regulation and a current consultation process.
Organisations with substantial China work
Animals Asia is probably the strongest place to start. They have worked in China for decades and currently support 400+ grassroots animal groups with funding, training and veterinary assistance. Their China programme includes dog and cat rescue/rehabilitation, TNR, public education, veterinary training and advocacy around the dog and cat meat trade.
Animals Asia — China cat & dog welfare
They are also involved in broader animal-welfare work in China, including bear protection and sanctuary.
China Rescue Dogs is much more specifically focused on rescuing dogs in China that are at risk of entering the meat trade and arranging veterinary care, transport and international adoption. It describes itself as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2017 and says it works with trusted partners on the ground in China.
China Rescue Dogs
Their site currently reports 2,400 dogs rescued and 1,800 placed in forever homes.
🌏 Another reputable Asian organisation
Soi Dog Foundation is also very well established, although its direct rescue operations are primarily in Thailand rather than mainland China. Its work includes rescue, veterinary care, sterilisation, rehoming and campaigning against the dog and cat meat trade across Asia.
So I would put it on your wider list of organisations working on the issue, but Animals Asia and China Rescue Dogs are the more directly China-focused choices.
Soi Dog Foundation
🐾 One thing I really like about Animals Asia
Animals Asia has a particularly useful body of material because it documents not just individual rescues, but policy, local-government cooperation and systemic changes. For example, it says that in 2020 it welcomed the removal of dogs from China's official livestock list and describes work supporting local dog-ownership regulations and humane stray-animal management.
That could make it especially useful if you're researching the subject for content rather than simply looking for somewhere to donate.
My shortlist
For China specifically, I'd start with:
1. Animals Asia — broad animal welfare + China advocacy/rescue
2. China Rescue Dogs — dog rescue/adoption focused on China
3. Soi Dog Foundation — excellent Asian animal-welfare organisation, but Thailand-focused for direct rescue
