SAVANNAH, Tenn. (WSMV) – A national nonprofit assisted in the rescue of over 30 dogs from a property in Hardin County, Tennessee, on Wednesday.
Animal Rescue Corps (ARC) responded to a request for assistance from the Hardin County Animal Shelter to help rescue 36 dogs that were roaming a property in Savannah.
The number of dogs on the property had rapidly increased over the last few years due to uncontrolled breeding, ARC said.
Here are instructions on how to watch WSMV4 live on various platforms.
“Without the financial resources to spay and neuter, provide proper veterinary care, or contain the dogs, the living conditions declined significantly,” ARC said.
The dogs were in rough condition, with many suffering from skin infections, untreated leg injuries, fur loss, snake bite wounds, dental disease, pregnancy, ear infections, anemia, and internal and external parasites.
ARC said that one of the dogs was giving birth on a pile of trash when they arrived at the property. Eight puppies were delivered.
Because the dogs loosely roamed on the property, some had reportedly been lured by a neighbor onto his property and shot to death. Others were hit and killed by cars on a nearby road.
“Every contribution, whether it’s time or resources, makes a significant difference in the lives of these animals,” said ARC’s Executive Director, Tim Woodward. “We urge the community to get involved, whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word.”
The dogs were taken to ARC’s Rescue Center in Gallatin, where they are getting veterinary exams, appropriate vaccinations, and necessary medical treatments.
ARC said that once the dogs are ready, they will be matched to shelters and rescue organizations to be adopted.
