Montreal Puppy Mill Bust




We returned from 9 days in Montreal, helping UAN (United Animal Nations) with the two recent puppy mill busts there. For details, please read: http://www.uan.org/index.cfm?navid=518 and if your stomach can handle it, have a look at this video: https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/donate.aspx?EventID=22554&LangPref=en-CA

In total, 270 dogs, seven cats and one bunny were removed from these mills and are on their way to a new and much better life. LOYAL Rescue has offered to take in 13 of the dogs. Two have arrived already and the remaining will come in over the next week to 10 days. The two that are already here will require considerable attention prior to adoption. Both are very scared and timid and Henry (formerly Chester) is almost bald from a skin condition.

Still to arrive are four yorkies, an english bulldog, what appears to be a few maltipoo's, a shih tzu and some toy poodles. Many of these dogs will need ongoing vetting to get them to an adoptable state so if you're in a position to help financially, we would really appreciate it, but if you're not, please consider fostering. The more foster homes we have, the more dogs we can save.

As tough as this mill bust was to see personally (yes, I physically was at the second bust), these dogs are on the road to recovery and will have nothing but the best going forward.
