Stone County, Missouri – Dozens of starving dogs have been rescued in Stone County, Missouri. According to the Humane Society of Missouri, their Animal Cruelty Task Force went to the property this week and found malnourished dogs who were living among the remains of “numerous” deceased animals – the surviving dogs had no food, water or shelter.
Concerned residents had reached out to the shelter because the unsheltered dogs were suffering in the bitter cold.
The animal welfare agency stated that a total of 55 dogs were removed from the dismal situation, and 15 deceased dogs were discovered.
The surviving dogs welcomed the food, water, and warmth they were offered after being saved. The shelter said:
As they were unloaded each dog rushed to their food and water bowls and then immediately curled up to sleep. They knew they were warm and safe.
There were so many grateful faces. Each pup leaned into us and seemed to say “Thank You.”
These dogs are likely experiencing security and comfort for the first time in their life.
The shelter is hopeful that the community will step up to adopt the rescued dogs.
People who are not in the position to adopt are encouraged to donate or volunteer. Learn more about volunteering at this link: hsmo.org/volunteer
