Early this morning, our team headed out to a home with 45 dogs needing to be removed after numerous issues with county enforcement. Most were not social, multiple attempted to bite out of fear, and sadly, one was already passing away when we arrived (we discovered from a relative that the pack had been regularly fighting for resources and multiple dogs have died as a result). They ranged in age from 12 weeks to 12 years, so many mixes of breeds, and probably similar branches of the family tree. This is a problem that was addressed more than once with this resident. Unfortunately, it took law enforcement and citations to yield a willingness to let go.
Tonight, 11 of these dogs have received medical care and baths for the first time and are safe in the care of our foster homes, vet, and shelter where they will no longer have to compete for survival. We still have five looking for foster homes, and once those are placed, we intend to return for more. These are NOT dogs that you can bring home and immediately introduce to your animals and small children. They can be handled without biting, just very scared (flight risks!) and will need a lot of time, work, love and PATIENCE. Foster application: https://bit.ly/cprdogfoster
If you aren't able to foster, please consider a $5 donation towards the costs of care. If you don't want to donate via Fb, you can use all the other digital payments plus credit cards on our website: https://coastalpetrescue.org/donate/
Thanks to Two Black Dogs Foundation, Fixin the Boro, Love of Littles Dog Rescue, and Bulloch County Animal Services for combining efforts today to remove the first round of dogs.
**Please do not send messages asking about adoptions. Dogs will be listed on our website at https://coastalpetrescue.org/adopt/adopt-a-dog-or-puppy/ when they are available to go to new homes. Thank you. **
