Puppy mill update


Action is being taken in the U.S at the moment and finally a break through. I received an email today containing a video to show the hundreds of dogs that have been saved from just ONE puppy mill in Tennessee.

"Just one week ago, nearly 700 dogs lived in squalor there. Thanks to our dedicated team of responders, these dogs are now on their way to the loving homes they deserve. Dozens of staff from The Humane Society of the United States, along with other groups and a slew of volunteers, worked around the clock to remove the dogs from their miserable cages and provide them with tender care and medical attention for the first time in their lives.

These dogs are lucky because they will be adopted into loving homes. But thousands more still suffer at the hands of puppy mill operators and animal fighters, or from the unpredictable forces of nature. These are the animals our rescue teams are trained to save. In fact, our responders traveled to the puppy mill directly from Iowa, where they helped to rescue and shelter more than 1,000 animals victimized by the floods."

Click HERE to watch a video of the hundreds of dogs that have been rescued. You can also donate but it is an American organisation and this is also going on in Australia.

It is just a good feeling to know that there is being something done and there are people that care. I admire people like this who dedicate their time to save these animals and I hope one day I can do work like this. I plan to dedicate my life to help animals and getting this email really made me feel good to know there are a lot of other people out there in the world who feel the same as me. Keep up the good work guys, every person who cares make such a difference.
