My prayers are with them. How could they?
how can this happen in a so called "humane" world? I'm so sad I can only hope that there are more of "us" then there are "them".
Here is an update, from Saturday. It is actually quite heartwarming if you can get past the pictures of the undernourished dogs. Just know that all of them are now in loving foster homes where they will be properly cared for and given the nutrition and love they so deserve.

I have shared this story with my parents. I'm surprised at how quickly these dogs got into this condition -- the newspaper article says, "Animal Hospital of Waynesville veterinarian Kristen Hammett said she is devastated. Some of the dogs had been her patients, and Frizzell regularly brought them in for checkups until a few months ago." Not that a few months is too short a time when you aren't being fed, cleaned up after or groomed. I'm just shocked at how quickly things turned around for these dogs. :( But the dedication of these volunteers is the sun coming out from behind the clouds. :) :)
That just brings tears to my eyes!!! What a wonderful rescue of those sweet dogs!!!

Just another article. This one is about "Lilly". It's even spelled the same as my girl's name. :)
Logan,
I just read this thread (all of it) today. The pictures of these
Goldens is just heartbreaking. Surely they could not have
lasted much longer without food. As I read the bios & updates
on some of them, I did feel hopeful for their future. How very
sad that they had so much to endure. It's wonderful that they
never lost their Golden sweetness.I wish them the best.
There is an ongoing "diary" for each of the dogs that were involved in the rescue. You can read updates here:

I'd take one if I could, those babies look so sweet and ready to love. :(
That is sooo bad....people around here would never do that but for some aud reason they wont volunteer at the shelter either....I have got cussed out more than once for just having my dog outside on a running cable WITH a dog house and I keep food by them almost all of the time....I dont know if that will ever happen around here but if it does then I am ready to foster!!!!:)
