PRESS RELEASE FROM ANIMAL RESCUE CORPS:
BREAKING NEWS: DOGS RESCUED FROM A BACKYARD BREEDER IN WEST TENNESSEE BEGIN A NEW LIFE
Obion Tenn – Animal Rescue Corps (ARC), a national animal protection nonprofit, responded to a request to assist with nine dogs from a puppy mill about two hours north of Memphis. All the animals have been surrendered to Animal Rescue Corps, and the facility has shut down.
German Shepherds, German Shepherds mixes, and Cocker Spaniels were among the dogs rescued. Many exhibit signs of obvious and chronic neglect including internal and external parasites, ear infections, eye infections, and severe matting.
“These dogs have been used as commodities their whole lives,” said ARC Executive Director, Tim Woodward. “I am glad the dogs in Operation Bright Star will be able to experience being part of a loving family, the way it always should have been.”
If you are adding a companion animal to your home, please consider adopting from a reputable rescue or shelter instead of purchasing.
ARC transported all the dogs to ARC’s Rescue Center in Gallatin, Tenn., about 30 minutes east of Nashville. Each dog in this rescue operation, dubbed Operation Bright Star, will receive a thorough veterinary exam, appropriate vaccinations, and any necessary medical treatments before being matched and transported to trusted shelter and rescue partner organizations that will ultimately adopt them into loving homes.
Donations and volunteers are urgently needed to help abused and neglected animals: visit animalrescuecorps.org
