This story has a happy ending.
Placing Dogs On The Road To Recovery
It took a caravan and dozens of kennels. Hearts United for Animals made its largest rescue ever when it took in 106 dogs from eight breeders in Nebraska late last week.
Now Julie Lavin of Almost Home Canine Rescue in Madison is helping lead 27 of them down the road to recovery.
Almost Home would like to thank the
Jason Debus Heigl Foundation
for their generosity!
The foundation is sponsoring our new arrivals from puppymills. 6 out of 7 of these dogs are pregnant and need extensive medical care and high quality food. We are incredibly honored to receive this donation and also would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Nancy Heigl and her support of our efforts rescuing puppy mill dogs. Here are the dogs that are being sponsored:

Only 42% of cat owners and 39% of dog owners are aware of the pet-overpopulation problem. Source: Massachusetts SPCA survey 1993
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Spay and Neuter your pet which is the true meaning of responsible pet ownership and love; sterilizing your pets prevents the birth of more homeless animals.
Adopt a homeless pet.
Spay or neuter a local stray.
Tell others the good reasons to spay and neuter pets.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, buy a dog in a petstore. Here is why: http://www.prisonersofgreed.org/
