Breeder Rescue: Progress Report #1

All of the rescued dogs were diagnosed with external otitis (external ear problems) and required ear cleaning and thorough ear checks.
Every day, we check the condition of each dog's left and right ears and administer various medicines.

Luckily, each dog has a wonderful personality. They've probably never been shampooed or had their ears cleaned, yet they don't show any signs of aggression or panic, and are well behaved.
They seem to smile and when seeing how they seek human affection, it makes one wonder: How is it that after all you've been through, you can still trust humans?

Up until now, you've probably never felt the love of humans.
You've probably never had your own name.
No one stroked your feces-soiled fur.

They are just a small part of a bigger problem.
If more people knew about the reality of puppies sold in pet shops coming from these types of breeders, perhaps people would think twice about buying puppies at pet shops.
AERA magazine published an article about the realities of pet distribution.(May 31 issue)

It breaks my heart to think of the other dogs there that we could not save.
For those dogs that ARK was able to save, we'll take responsibility and make sure they'll be happy.
These dogs were used solely as breeding machines to breed puppies, and they all face a mountain of health issues. Until we reach the point where we can introduce these dogs to adoptive families, they will need treatment, vaccinations and spaying. All of this will require funding. We ask for your understanding and cooperation.
