Dogs living in BOXES in Ohio ** please HELP us help them**

This will make you cry, so prepare yourself........  NO animal should ever have to live like this.  :-(

 These are BOXES... yes, solid wood boxes on 3 sides.  The top is chicken wire.   Terrible.

 When they were "lucky", they were turned out in this pitiful "yard" which was ankle high in WATER AND MUD when our volunteers went in to rescue the dogs.  Look at their shelter.... they ate through it... NO SHELTER AT ALL.  These poor babies were trying to squeeze into this shelter and they couldn't even fit.

 Poor Dad is so bloated.  We are hoping and praying that it is only worm infestation and nothing more than that.  We are very concerned about him and really want to get him to the vet.  We need YOUR support to get him the vet care he needs.

As if the pictures don't tell you how horrible these dogs are living, let me tell you.......

These 3 beautiful creatures (Dad, son, and daughter) were living in filth, with no fresh water, and little food (probably junk of all junk).  They were being kept in boxes for most of the day, but we are told by the "breeder" that they do get to go outside some times.  Sure, in Ohio's heat, rain, snow, etc.... they have one dog igloo that has been eaten up.  They have no shelter, no fresh water. 

You want to know what happened to Mom?  She froze to death this past winter :-(  We were also told that the other 2 siblings died from accidentally hanging themselves on the CHAINS they were attached too.  How sickening is this story?!  Sadly, it's not the worst case, but it certainly is unacceptable.

We DO have the dogs.  Thanks to fabulous volunteers who went onto the property with a family member (acting as a liason for the breeder) to get the dogs.  They report that the conditions these dogs were living in were horrible and they weren't even able to see it all.  As I said, we DO have the dogs.   However, right now we are having to wait until we have enough money to vet them.  We are mainly concerned about Dad because he is extremely bloated, has low energy, and vomits when he eats anything :-(  The daughter is super sweet and eager for attention.  The son is shy, but kisses you once he knows you.  Please HELP us HELP them.  All the money we raise for these dogs will go to a low cost vet to help us get them fully vetted so that they can be adopted to wonderful homes where they will never have less than the best.  These poor babies deserve it.  Thank you for your generosity.
