Subject: Idaho authorities seize 539 dogs in raid - Help needed!


Cross-posting appreciated!!!

I only have some sketchy details. Authorities went to serve a search
warrant on Thurs. eve., expecting to find 200 dogs, and instead found
539 dogs. I don't know what breeds are involved, have seen one Chihuahua
pictured, and it's likely most are toy breeds. The rescue was
coordinated by Second Chance Animal Shelter, which reportedly had to
take on another building to house the dogs, and they need everything
from money to supplies to volunteers. (Locally, donations can also be
made to any Zamzows in the Treasure Valley.)

Here is their contact info...if anyone is near there...
or can help from afar:
