"The dogs, rescued six weeks ago, "were being kept in deplorable conditions by a so-called backyard breeder," Second Chances Animal Services wrote in an Instagram post. On the fundraising page for the dogs' expenses, Second Chances wrote, "The [three] mothers had been confined in very poor conditions, subjected to repeated breeding, and had likely never even been out-of-doors prior to their rescue." The adult dogs were covered in caked-on feces and some had to be shaved to remove the feces, Doray said."
"The shelter started a fundraising page to fund the " help [the shelter] desperately need[s] for their care." The fundraiser will also make the shelter available for future rescues as the number of animals in need increases, Doray said. The page has raised over $4,900 as of Monday afternoon, on the way to the shelter's $15,000 goal. The now 8-week-old golden retriever puppies and the three mothers will be ready for adoption on or around Sept. 27."
Fifty-six dogs were rescued from a New York breeder accused of animal cruelty, and Second Chances Animal Services received 26 of the dogs, including 23 two-week-old golden retriever puppies. The rescued animals had been kept in deplorable, overcrowded conditions; three mothers were confined, repeatedly bred, likely never outdoors, and adults were covered in caked-on feces requiring shaving. The shelter began a fundraising campaign to cover medical and care costs and to enable future rescues; the campaign raised over $4,900 toward a $15,000 goal. The puppies and mothers should be available for adoption about Sept. 27, and adoption applications must be submitted online.
