Oregon Humane Society rescues 131 dogs in Burns, Oregon

The dogs and I were left to fend for ourselves for a couple of days this week, but it was for a good cause. Barbara travelled out to Eastern Oregon with a caravan of of OHS staffers, vet techs and volunteers to help rescue 131 dogs from one breeder in Burns, Oregon. If you check out the video of the rescue at the the OHS YouTube site, you will see the deplorable conditions the dogs were living in. There was not enough food, so only the strongest dogs got enough to eat and many of them were scarred up from fighting. They also were not getting clean water, and had to drink from a muddy puddle of water that was frozen over when the rescue team got there. You can read more about the rescue and make a donation to support the dogs that were rescued at the OHS web site.
