here is the rottie's story. I thought i had captured it initially and found i hadn't.... too many tissue blurs in my face!
This is from Kim:
Last night I was called out to look at 2 Rotties in Greenville, KY. What I saw has caused me to seriously rethink whether or not I want to continue rescue. Most of you remember me posting about the 2starving Rotties yesterday needing help. It was MUCH WORSE than I couldhave ever imagined.
Worse even than the puppy mills I go to :-(
>
The property is littered with the carcasses of dead cats and kittens. It seems these people have been getting cats out of the state of Indiana and using them for target practice. They boasted to me that they had just brought in a shipment of cats from Indiana and "cats make great target practice".
> The garbage on the property is knee deep.

> These 2 dogs, ages 1 and a half and 6, are being penned seperately in pens that there is no way that even I could stretch out comfortably in. They are wading through feces that are up to their stomachs. We had to
fight through weeds taller than we were to get to these dogs. No one has seen about them in months. Both are emaciated and were screaming and clawing trying to get out of their pens to the food I had fed them. I was feeding them from a long handled spoon that they nearly broke in half trying to eat :-(
>
Both have NEVER seen a vet in their lives. Shots are a must before transport and wil be done immediately.
>
Both have been abused. A log chain is kept hanging from their pens that the owner uses to beat them with. Another little tidbit the owners wanted to share..
>
For the GOOD news. I went into these pens with these two. A scary prospect,but I did. Both are sweet dogs. Starving and filthy, but nevertheless, very sweet.
>
This my friends is what rescue is about. We HAVE to help these dogs. The dogs are being removed from there tommorow. My husband is going today to bring them food and water. Tommorow we will vaccinate and scrub.
>
> Friday, we will need your help..
>
It also bears mentioning that these 2 were not the only dogs there. There was a third that the owner shot because it kept trying to escape that hell hole.
>
I am documenting everything. I WILL have justice for these two dogs or I will die trying.
> Please, Please, Please do all that you can to help get these two to safety.

> Thanks,
