AR Puppy Mill Dogs Hit the Road to Find Homes
On November 7, ASPCA responders helped remove 175 small dogs from an Arkansas puppy mill. These sweet and frightened dogs were suffering from various diseases and ailments, but after six weeks under our care, they’re feeling much better...and now the dogs—and some puppies born after the raid—are ready to find their forever homes!
We worked with our Shelter Partners to find space for these brave little pups, and organizations in Arkansas, New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., stepped up to the plate. Today, we packed up our Animal Transport Trailers and hit the road.
Here’s where these brave little pups are being welcomed with open arms:
Twenty dogs stayed close to home with Arkansas’ Stop Animal Cruelty in Hot Spring County.
St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, New Jersey, is taking in 30 dogs.
Animal Welfare Association in Voorhees, New Jersey, has accepted 20 dogs.
Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA in Hudson, New York, will find homes for 10 dogs.
And Washington Animal Rescue League in Washington, D.C., will welcome 100 dogs!!
A huge thank you to our Shelter Partners for giving these former victims of a cruelty a second chance at finding love and companionship.
The Hardest Day of my Life

NOTE: Today, Japanese police raided the hotel in Kii-Katsuura, near Taiji, where Save Japan Dolphins’ Heather Hill and volunteers from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society were staying. The raid was apparently prompted by the arrest last week of Sea Shepherd volunteer Erwin Vermeulen, who allegedly was involved in an altercation with an employee at the Dolphin Base hotel. While Heather was detained briefly while her room was searched and her computer and cameras were checked, all her equipment was returned to her after it was clear she had no connection to Sea Shepherd. No arrests were made. Earth Island's Save Japan Dolphins and Dolphin Project do not condone violence of any kind in Japan and have never broken any laws in Taiji. We are very grateful for the work of Heather and other volunteers like her who, under very difficult conditions, keep us informed of what is happening in Taiji with the dolphin hunts.
Today was, and will probably always be, the longest and hardest day of my life. Last week we saw five slaughters in six days. The dolphin killers of Taiji took yesterday (Saturday) off, so we had one day of peace, but today they were right back at it. My hopes were soaring high when we spotted several banger boats headed back in this morning, but suddenly the boats turned and sped off to meet others that had apparently located a pod of striped dolphins.
From the lookout on Takababe Mountain, I could see that this pod still had a lot of energy, despite being chased towards the shores of Taiji. Unlike the striped dolphins caught a few days ago that were all too exhausted to panic in the shallow Cove, these ones were quickly frightened by their ever-tightening world. The fishermen had already prepared nets in the Cove to try and keep the dolphins from throwing themselves out of the water and getting stuck on the rocks, but it made no difference. Once the final net was drawn, terror broke out amongst the dolphins. Skiffs tried to position themselves between the rocks and dolphins, and divers sat on the rocks to push and kick the dolphins that slammed their bodies into the wall, tearing their skin open and staining the water with blood. One dolphin made a mad dash into the net and became entangled, wrapping itself tighter and tighter as it thrashed, trying to get a desperately needed breath of air. A diver jumped in to set it free, knowing we were watching with our cameras. The chaos ensued for what felt like an eternity, and we tried in vain to put our cameras between the situation and us, hoping to make it seem less real and therefore easier to document. I later had to clean the dried salt off of my camera from all the tears that had dripped down the view screen.

This sister duo was living outdoors in a neglectful home, given little socialization, allowed to get heartworm from no heartworm preventative and then confiscated and taken to the shelter. Homeward Trails took them in and put them into doggy daycare where they learned to play and love other dogs....and then they moved into the best foster home. Once there they started to actually relax, play, give kisses and learn to trust humans.
They have now been treated for heartworm, housebroken and ready for adoption. They can be placed separately or together...but if they go individually then they must have a home with another dog. They will require a special home who can be patient with them.
Please give one or both of these girls a loving home.....they have waited long enough!

Homeward Trails Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides pet adoption in Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland. We find homes for dogs and cats rescued from high-kill animal shelters or whose owners could no longer care for them or were found as strays.
