This shelter rescued more than 100 dogs from Puerto Rico. It plans to save hundreds more.
The bus pulled into the parking lot at Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, just after 6 p.m.
As the doors opened, dogs could be heard barking from inside.
맥스카지노These babies don맥스카지노t deserve to live in an outdoor run in the elements and get sick and die,맥스카지노 Lauree Simmons, owner of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, told sister station WPBF. 맥스카지노They deserve better than that.맥스카지노
And that맥스카지노s exactly why Simmons brought the dogs in from Puerto Rico.
Big Dog Ranch Rescue flew 126 dogs in Friday, rescuing them from overcrowded shelters and dangerous streets. The dogs were fed and bathed, and veterinarians checked them. Most were healthy, but many were not.
Aside from heartworm and ticks, some had broken bones, the result of speeding cars in Puerto Rico. All are now being treated.
Simmons said half of the dogs will be moved to shelters in the Northeast.
맥스카지노They맥스카지노ve got tons of room up at their shelters and plenty of adoption applications,맥스카지노 Simmons said. 맥스카지노So, we맥스카지노ll fill them.맥스카지노
The other half will stay South Florida, hoping to find their forever homes.
Simmons has heard the criticism from people who say she should focus her rescue efforts on animals closer to home. Her response is that while she mainly focuses on needy animals in South Florida, she won맥스카지노t turn her back on other dogs in need.
맥스카지노I don맥스카지노t care where the dog is born,맥스카지노 she said. 맥스카지노If the dog needs help, and we can help it, I맥스카지노m going to do that.맥스카지노
This was Big Dog Ranch Rescue's second trip to Puerto Rico the past month.
Simmons said she plans to make at least six more trips to rescue hundreds of more dogs.
맥스카지노Every single life is worth it,맥스카지노 she said. 맥스카지노Every single life matters.맥스카지노
