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!!
