Three were pregnant, all have worms, giardia, coccidia, two are missing eyes and two have injuries to their legs and backs. Every dog costs us an average of $500 in vet care, food, training, etc.

Lancaster Hoarder Rescue Update: 15 large breed dogs left!

Wed, 24 Nov 2010 17:19:07 +0100

All these dogs came from the Lancaster hoarder that had over 100 free-roaming UNALTERED dogs on their property surviving only on bread donations from a local bakery. They were living in squalor and without shelter. We've been able to get nearly 70 dogs off the property and 15 cats/kittens. Here are a few big dogs in boarding that we need to get out ASAP so we can go get the rest of the 7 dogs in Lancaster.

All dogs are:

1-2 years old

Great with dogs
Vaccinated

Temps are FREEZING at night in Lancaster. We NEED to get the rest of the dogs out of there but we can only do so if we can get these dogs out of boarding. Our group took over 20 dogs so we are so full!!

SKIPPY (Skinny black shepherd) can get along fine but his back legs are wonky. We are taking him to a vet to see if its hereditary/inbreeding or injury. He doesn't seem to be in pain.

If you are a rescue that can help take on one of these babies please contact me at Jessica@NewLifeK-9Rescue.org

*We are good on food donations thanks to Jane and blankets thanks to Operation Blankets of Love.

Lancaster Hoarding Rescue Day 2

Wed, 24 Nov 2010 05:23:36 +0100

LANCASTER HOARDER PROJECT DAY 2

Just got back from day 2 at Lancaster Hoarding Situation.

Got many dogs out, a huge THANK YOU to the few rescues that showed up. We brought up over 1,000 pounds on day 1. We pulled 8 dogs, many of them are big cases. At least 3 are pregnant (it seems all the female dogs WERE pregnant), 2 are missing eyes from coyote attacks and one is a puppy with deformed legs most likely from malnutrition. I also ended up bringing back a 11 cats and kittens. Thank you to Carol who adopted one, and a kitten rescue that took 6 of the kittens. I will be boarding the rest of the adults until a cat group can take them, hopefully by the end of the week. IF THERE ARE ANY CAT RESCUES THAT CAN TAKE AN ADULT OR TWO PLEASE CONTACT ME. All cats are so sweet, purring in their crates as they waited all day and ended up having no rescue to take them. They are good with cats and dogs.

A HUGE thank you to Operation Blankets of Love as well who responded to my request for bringing up blankets to keep these guys warm in the FREEZING night weather. They gave us as much as we wanted and they ROCK.

Got a great number of dogs out, around 50! All the moms with pups have been rescued, including the blind mama with pups. A majority of the small dogs got out but there are dogs left.

According to the "caretakers" there are still around 15-20 dogs on the property and 1 cat cat.
One dog is missing a foot, there are a few pups and small dogs and large breed dogs as well.
WE ARE DOING FINE WITH FOOD DONATIONS FOR NOW!

We were able to catch dogs today but they had no where to go so we released them and we hope that rescues can help tomorrow by taking the rest.

Remember the property is NOT enclosed so the dogs just come and go on their own.

They are NOT releasing the chickens, rabbit and turtles now.

Thank you Josue, for taking the time to find out this guys story and for alerting us to the situation and for all the volunteers that came out.

WE WILL BE THERE TOMORROW STARTING AT 12 noon-23607 E. Ave G., Lancaster CA 93535 and I really hope to get rest of the animals out. Thank you to the hundreds and hundreds of emails for help!!

Lancaster Hoarding Rescue Day 1

Wed, 24 Nov 2010 05:23:43 +0100

URGENT: Surprise-ANOTHER LANCASTER HOARDER!! 100 + animals eating only BREAD and EACH OTHER. Nice dogs, cats, rabbits, fowl, tortoise!

Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2010

PLEASE WATCH VIDEO: If there are any solid rescues/rescuers that can step up and help take any dogs that would be amazing. The "caretaker" is willing to release all animals. There are 100+ animals living on this property, have been eating BREAD only. Some dogs are turning to eating trash and a few are resorting to cannibalism as they've been so hungry. Animals need out ASAP before the snow comes, they say all the dogs CRY at night because it is so very cold. There is inadequate shelter, they are living in squalor. I know everyone is very full and rescues have been burned with hoarding situations. If any rescues can step up either BEFORE they enter the shelter or AFTER they are in the shelter please do so. Animal control has been contacted.

Lancaster, CA
ITS GOING TO START FREEZING AT NIGHT!!
approx 75 dogs
none are spayed-neutered, many are pregnant
2 big momma dogs with tiny puppies
living in squalor
dog-friendly, small dogs, large dogs and cats all roam together
most are very friendly with people
10-15 kittens around 2-3 months and a few adult cats
20-30 fowl-chicken, pigeons
2 desert tortoises
dozens of rabbits
dogs have been "surviving" by eating only bread and tortillas-we took dog food to last a few days until animal control comes or rescues can assist
dogs are not enclosed, they are free-roaming in the middle of hills
many dogs have been attacked or eaten by coyotes when they roam to find food
1 blind large breed dog, 2 small breed dogs with missing eyes, 1 dog with missing front foot

We were able to take out 4 adults, 3 are pregnant moms, 2 have only 1 eye from injuries and a puppy with malformed legs.

There are so many left and its too much for even a handful of rescues. Contact JessicaCliver@hotmail.com if you can help.

Thank you,
