More than 50 volunteers worked diligently through the holiday weekend and into the night at a temporary shelter in Fort Worth, Texas, preparing for the arrival of nearly 500 dogs rescued today from a Montague County puppy mill after a warrant was served by the Montague County Sheriff’s department. The animals will be cared for by the Humane Society of North Texas with the assistance of volunteers with United Animal Nations's Emergency Animal Rescue Service.

Go EARS volunteers! You all are amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou all ROCK! Please everyone, consider making a donation to their Disaster Relief Fund (see link on the Right of this screen) to help alleviate the costs of rescuing these poor dogs!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard a word on what happened to the horrible people that had these dogs...WHY is this not a part of the stories...
ReplyDeleteFive HUNDRED? This is insane. Bless the 50+ volunteers helping this out; that's an incredible challenge.
ReplyDeleteYay, EARS volunteers! Thank you so much for your willingness and the love you have for the animals!
ReplyDeleteThank you EARS and HSNT! As the only rescuer in Montague County I am praying this bust will scare some sense into all the little BYB's around here. Was a pleasure meeting so many of you!

Are the dogs up for adoption? Where would we find that information...
ReplyDeleteWhere will the dogs be available for adoption? Please post information.
ReplyDeleteWe are hoping to get more information on adoption.
ReplyDeletePlease post adoption information as soon as it is available.
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone working with the Texas Puppy Mill rescue that we can send pictures of our stolen dogs to? There are numerous dogs, including mine, that have been stolen recently that may have ended up in a puppy mill in North Texas or Oklahoma. Our Jack Russell, Zoey, was pregnant when she was stolen from us in April. She was due May 15th. I refuse to give up on her!
ReplyDeletethey will be up for adoption on july 18 if the judge will aprove of the decision on july 17. most of the dogs are small dogs such as beagles and poodle mixes and a little bit of big dogs like rotties and labs they will be adopted at some DFW adoption centers
ReplyDeleteI really want to know what happened to those disgusting, soulless people. It is really important for us, animal advocates, to know that those monsters were punished, if possible severely, and that there is justice in this world. This information needs to be made public, as it may have a dissuading effect on wannabe puppy-mill people. Thanks,
ReplyDeletethere are alot of shih tsu's, peke's, labs, labradoodles, i think a couple standard poodles, goldens, bassets, beagles, cockapoo's pekapoos, chihuahua, rat terriers and they are all soo sweet. I want to praise the staff here with united, these people came in and worked and worked, there were so many there volunteering and the people that donated, wow, this whole ordeal is a lesson learned. oh cockers & poms & yorkies..
ReplyDeleteI work with Dr.Cynthia Jones and volunteered to help groom these amazing dogs. ALL of the dogs are so loving ,sooo sweet .you can't imagine the horrors they have been through and only to come thought it with the spirt of a champion.Some did not make it ,but the ones that did are incedible.The volunteers work non-stop.Where they are being kept now is clean cool and safe.We will know more Friday and hopfully the Judge will make an example of these monsters and make them pay for the suffering they have caused.Please People DO NOT buy puppies at pet stores, flea markets, or so called breeders! Ckeck your local animal shelter and rescues .You can help get rid of this problem.
