60 Rescued Dogs Need A Hand

[bayonetbrant]

Despot Country (FL) Animal Control seized 60 dogs (50+ are great danes) in a police raid, and they need a hand taking care of them.  They set up a wishlist on Amazon and you can donate by purchasing anything from the list and shipping it directly to the animal control facility in Arcadia.

Because they're part of an ongoing court case, they can't be released to rescue / foster any time soon, so the animal control folks are getting overwhelmed with that many dogs.

Mrs Bayonet works with the local Great Dane rescue here in NC, and she's the one that alerted me to this.  I thought I'd just throw it out there in case anyone has the ability to lend a hand.

Thanks, y'all!

Just sent them a big-ass bag of dogfood.


Animal cruelty and neglect makes me sick.

Supplies sent. I like dogs more than I like most people. Especially people who do this kind of thing to animals.

It is with extreme pride and a giant lump in our collective throats that we are happy to announce what was earned with this Auction. Please keep in mind, there were a few items that were commission sales proceeds that we will not see in the total, and of course we are just now beginning to gather payments...... With that said, this AMAZING COMMUNITY has collectively raised $23,616 (updated after Jamberry Nails reported in) to be donated to the rescues and shelters that have taken on these 100 Danes.
As we take a moment to receive payments and ship items, we will be contacting the rescues and shelters that have custody of these Danes to determine the numbers and needs of each group. Once we have this figured out, we will publish who is receiving what portion of this total. Please take a moment to look around at the amazing power in this event... what has been done is nothing short of a miracle for a group of Danes who deserve nothing less from us. May the blessings you have given to these dogs be returned to each of you 10 fold. ** More to come~
