Just a few days ago, the HSUS raided a puppy mill in Tennessee and rescued, in addition to over 680 dogs, 25 horses and donkeys, 20 cats, 4 parrots, and 15 chickens. This video, day 3 of the rescue, shows the dogs after they have been transported to a temporary shelter and are receiving food, water, and medical care.
HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle wrote in his blog that, after sending 100 dogs to their branch in Maryland, the HSUS reached out to shelters across the country who willingly agreed to take in as many dogs as possible until they can be placed in good homes. For example, the Washington Animal Rescue League and the Washington Humane Society took in 100 of the rescued pups. If you are interested in adopting one of these rescued dogs, please contact your local animal shelter and ask about adopting one of the Tennessee Puppy Mill dogs, or any one of the thousands of other dogs in need of loving homes.
