YDR Pets | Dogs will be killed if not fostered by Monday (Oct. 3)

From Animal Rescue of New Freedom:

A puppy mill is being forced to close, and the owner currently has 15 to 20 dogs. The owner intends to euthanize all the adults and possibly some puppies on Monday, Oct. 3.

Animal Rescue of New Freedom wants to help these dogs, but is at capacity right now, and there?s no way they can take in additional dogs. The ONLY way to help these dogs is to find foster homes who would be willing to temporarily house them and care for them until permanent homes can be found. Fostering would be for a minimum of 4 weeks, with most fosters staying possibly 6 to 8 weeks.

The adult dogs are said to be 3 to 4 years old. The dogs and puppies are Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mixes, Havanese mixes and Shih-Tzus. All are small-breed dogs.

If you have a quiet room and would like to play a major role in saving these dogs? lives, Animal Rescue will supply all their food and medical needs. You would only be required to provide shelter and lots of love.

When first released, puppy mill dogs are frightened of humans, don?t know how to walk on a leash, have never been on grass, and are not house-trained. They prefer the company of other dogs, so it?s beneficial to have another dog in your household unless you can foster two of these dogs so they don?t have to
be separated.

Foster homes must have a fenced yard.

As of 7 a.m. today, it appears that some of the dogs will be released to Animal Rescue, and a few more may be coming as the owner?s deadline approaches.

Dogs that will be released so far include:

• Four Shih-Tzus, all females, 4 years old
• One Havanese mix, male, 3 years old
• One Havanese mix, female, 3 years old
• Three Cavalier/Bichon mixes, all females, 3 to 4 years old
• One Yorkie, male, no age given

Animal Rescue cannot take these dogs into its program unless they have foster homes. With your help, these dogs can be saved!

If you can offer any help, please email Animal Rescue at oliviarebert@gmail.com or call 717-993-3232.
