This shelter rescued more than 100 dogs from Puerto Rico. It plans to save hundreds more.
The bus pulled into the parking lot at Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, just after 6 p.m.
As the doors opened, dogs could be heard barking from inside.
바카라 게임 웹사이트These babies don바카라 게임 웹사이트t deserve to live in an outdoor run in the elements and get sick and die,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Lauree Simmons, owner of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, told sister station WPBF. 바카라 게임 웹사이트They deserve better than that.바카라 게임 웹사이트
And that바카라 게임 웹사이트s exactly why Simmons brought the dogs in from Puerto Rico.
Big Dog Ranch Rescue flew 126 dogs in Friday, rescuing them from overcrowded shelters and dangerous streets. The dogs were fed and bathed, and veterinarians checked them. Most were healthy, but many were not.
Aside from heartworm and ticks, some had broken bones, the result of speeding cars in Puerto Rico. All are now being treated.
Simmons said half of the dogs will be moved to shelters in the Northeast.
바카라 게임 웹사이트They바카라 게임 웹사이트ve got tons of room up at their shelters and plenty of adoption applications,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Simmons said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트So, we바카라 게임 웹사이트ll fill them.바카라 게임 웹사이트
The other half will stay South Florida, hoping to find their forever homes.
Simmons has heard the criticism from people who say she should focus her rescue efforts on animals closer to home. Her response is that while she mainly focuses on needy animals in South Florida, she won바카라 게임 웹사이트t turn her back on other dogs in need.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t care where the dog is born,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트If the dog needs help, and we can help it, I바카라 게임 웹사이트m going to do that.바카라 게임 웹사이트
This was Big Dog Ranch Rescue's second trip to Puerto Rico the past month.
Simmons said she plans to make at least six more trips to rescue hundreds of more dogs.
