500 dogs taken from Texas "puppy mill"--donations needed
Found out about this via Twitter...
More than 500 dogs and puppies have been taken from what officials call a large puppy mill in Montague County .
According to the North Texas Humane Society, more than 50 volunteers worked through the holiday weekend to prepare for the arrival of the animals on Tuesday.
The canines will be temporarily housed at a warehouse donated by Chesapeake Energy.
Other companies have donated services, including connecting plumbing, electricity and air conditioning in the warehouse, officials said.
Additionally, PetSmart donated food and supplies for the animals.
To donate money and for adoption information, contact the Humane Society of North Texas at 817-332-4768 or log onto www.hsnt.org .

You’ve got a great blog, and since you are interested in dog rescue, I thought you might be interested in a rescue-related project I’m working on.
ReplyDeleteI’m trying to raise awareness about puppy mills and support dog rescue groups by publishing breed-specific books full of stories about adopted dogs. My hope is that the books will give proud owners of adopted dogs a chance to showcase them, raise awareness about dog adoption and breed characteristics and generate funding for dog rescue through the donation of a portion of each sale. The first book, “Lost Souls: FOUND! Inspirational Stories of Adopted Boston Terriers” is available for pre-sale at http://happytailsbooks.com and on Amazon.com.
The next three books will be about Golden Retrievers, Labs and Chihuahuas. We are currently collecting stories for all of our books and would love to hear from anyone who has a great story about their adopted dog!
Thank you,
Kyla
