Rescue Waggin Run #4

I'm going to Lollypop...and so are my 7 siblings !

21 Pulaski County Animal Shelter dogs will be picked up Wednesday by the PetSmart Rescue Waggin' and travel to Lollypop Farm in NY. This is an INCREDIBLE RESCUE and has a WORLDWIDE reputation for kindness! They take in 15,000 animals annually and many are injured or seriously ill.

"[Lollypop] employs 70 full and part time employees with an annual operating budget of $3.5M. Its 140 acre facility shelters a variety of domestic pets and livestock."

I wanted to thank each PCHS volunteer, Dr. Vaughn, and the PetSmart Foundation for making this possible! We are SO fortunate to be able to save our babies from euthanasia.

NOTE: Little Kailey pictured above was being handed out at a local feed store to "just anybody that wanted one - unsterilized, and potentially into homes that would tie them out for the rest of their lives". Our volunteers rescued these 9 little 8 week old babies to ensure a quality life with no ability to reproduce. Unfortantly, one died the first night, but the others are doing really well and will travel to Lollypop and receive the best of care.

"FREE TO A GOOD HOME" is NOT a good thing - there is no guarantee that the animals will ever be sterilized or live in a loving home.
