Maxton NC 35 dogs seized-pls help
Please crosspost immediately......
MAGDRL received a call this morning from a cruelty investigator in Maxton. They will be seizing over 35 dogs tomorrow along with some snakes, birds and other animals. The dogs are in atrocious condition. Reports indicate that the one Great Dane weighs about 50 pounds. One Bull Mastiff is reported to have a flesh wound from shoulder to hind quarter with skin hanging. All dogs are emaciated and suffering.
They are in desperate need of volunteers to help during the seizure. The town is very small and has two working trucks that will hold a total of four dogs.
We will be gathering sometime tomorrow in a central location in Maxton with the sheriff. We will then go out to the house and seize the animals. Please bring large crates if possible to transport in.
We are looking for ANYBODY that can help transport these animals to either the animal shelter or to rescue groups. The investigators are hoping that most of the dogs will be taken in by rescues as their is not room at the shelter for this influx.
The woman ran a big dog operation and these are some of the breeds that are needing immediate assistance.
Great Danes-- Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue of NC will be pulling all Great Danes and immediately placing them in their program.
