72 Animals Saved From Horrific Conditions

On Friday, November 6th we drove to a property in Lawrence County, IL where there were more than 60 dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies living in horrific conditions. We coordinated with the Department of Agriculture and the State Police to save as many of these suffering animals as possible. When we arrived, we found household trash lying in mounds all around the property. The dogs were barking frantically, and all of them were chained to cinder blocks, trees, or heavy dog houses. The cats were virtually all malnourished and suffering from severe upper respiratory infections. Even though it was a heartbreaking scene, there was no time to waste, and we immediately began filling the transport crates on our large rescue bus with these frightened, anxious souls.

We were able to save 61 lives that day, and it is all thanks to your support. You answered our call for fosters, food, and supplies. You gave us the donations that we need to take on an emergency rescue mission such as this. Your wishes for our safety and the wellbeing of the animals were with us every step of that exhausting day.

Virtually all of the 23 female dogs we rescued that day are pregnant or nursing. Your support has not only changed the lives of these momma dogs, you have saved their puppies as well. They will never have to go through what their mommas have endured.

Thank you.

This is who you saved and what you saved them from.
