Pugs, Pekes and Poms Rescued from Freezing Temperatures

This Pekinese has sever skin irritations as well as other health issues

It was 18 degrees in Oklahoma last week. Not at all suited for winter outside, 49 puppies and small dogs were exposed to wind and rain and struggling to survive frigid November temperatures. Housed only in wire hutches, their water was frozen; the mothers malnourished; the puppies battling each other to suckle. Today these Chihuahuas, Pekinese, Pugs, and Pomeranians are in the warm, loving care of the Humane Society of Missouri.

Last Friday, we helped the Grove Humane Society in Oklahoma rescue them all from a substandard puppy mill. The Humane Society of Missouri was called because we were the most capable organization that could respond immediately, save these poor dogs from freezing and starvation; give them desperately needed veterinary care, warm shelter, plenty of good food; and find them loving homes.

Poor living conditions these animals were forced to endure

We can do all that because you care. We already have many animals desperately seeking a home for the holidays, but could not turn away these helpless and suffering dogs. Please make a gift to help them recover and keep them safe and warm while they wait for new homes.

This will truly be their best Thanksgiving ever.

Kindest regards,

Kathryn W. Warnick
President
Humane Society of Missouri
