Animal Rescue Corps
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE (NewsChannel5.com) - Nearly 100 dogs have already come a long way.
"I mean we've got dogs with broken limbs," Scotlund Haisley, President of the Animal Rescue Corps explained, "serious broken limbs, serious infections, heart worms, ear infections (and) eye infections."
The dogs were found in deplorable conditions, injured and malnourished at the Paws Claws and More Rescue Transport in Kentucky.
"The situation was grim. We walked on a very grim property on Valentine's Day. Amongst the most grim I have ever seen," Haisley added.
At the Tennessee State Fairgrounds the rescue dubbed "Operation Sweetheart" quickly turned into a life-saving mission.
"We haven't lost a dog," he said. "Our teams have worked around the clock to save their lives."
Now volunteers have to say goodbye, as many of the K-9's are given to reputable rescue organizations.
"You just don't treat animals like that," Kim Cooper of the Bowling Green, Warren County Humane Society said. "They're in a better place. That's what's important."
Although the dogs are doing so much better, there's still more work to be done. Rescue organizations say they'll take these dogs back, tend to their medical needs and at the very least, teach them how to trust humans again.
On Valentine's Day, their lives changed. Now they can get the love they so desperately deserve.
The medical care has far exceeded initial estimates. The Animal Rescue Corps is asking for donations for them and their partner organizations Agape Animal Rescue, Bowling Green Humane Society, New Leash on Life and Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue.
