Nearly 30 rescued dogs, some just one day old, have arrived at the Nashville Humane Association after a larger puppy mill rescue in Tennessee.
According to WSMV, the 27 dogs are part of a rescue involving 191 animals. Nashville Humane Association said it is helping Florence Lauderdale Animal Services care for them through a partnership that includes BISSELL Pet Foundation.
The group said the dogs include newborn puppies, pregnant mothers close to giving birth, and injured animals beginning recovery.
Nashville Humane Association is now focused on treating the dogs and preparing them for adoption once they are healthy enough. The work includes urgent medical care and support to help each animal become physically and emotionally ready for a home.
In a Facebook post, Nashville Humane said: “Right now, our team is working hard behind the scenes to give each dog the medical care and love they deserve before they’re ready for adoption.”
The shelter also asked for patience as it handles the response to the rescue.
“We know many of you will be excited about these dogs, and we are too,” the post said. “With that excitement comes a much busier shelter, and we ask for your patience and kindness as our team works through a high volume of inquiries, calls, and visitors.”
