An Australian Shepherd commercial dog breeding facility in Missouri is no longer in business.
Deciding to close, the owners of this dog breeder in rural Taney County, Missouri, voluntarily surrendered their dogs to the Humane Society of Missouri (HSMO).
Yesterday the HSMO Animal Cruelty Task Force, working with the Missouri Department of Agriculture, rescued 41 juvenile and adult dogs. The canines were taken to HSMO headquarters in St Louis where they are being examined, treated, spayed/neutered by veterinarians on staff there.
HSMO is encouraging Australian Shepherd dog rescue groups to assist in placing any of these dogs and are asked to call 314-802-5712.
In addition, these dogs will be made available for adoption by the public, though Debbie Hill, HSMO Vice President of Operations notes:
"Potential adopters also need to be aware that these dogs have never lived as house pets and many of them will need special care, socialization and training."
Anyone interested in adopting one of these Australian Shepherd dogs should keep any eye on the HSMO website to learn when they'll be ready for move on to a forever home.
One look at this face and it's hard to believe Captain Crunch is still living at the Humane Society of Missouri animal shelter.
Captain Crunch is a 4 month old, neutered male, brown brindle and white German Shepherd Dog and Pit Bull Terrier. Shelter staff and volunteers say he's learning to walk on a leash, is eager for treat rewards, and is full of love.
This beautiful boy will need a new best friend with patience for puppy training. An active home would be great for this energetic puppy.
Have a look at Captain Crunch's adoption video, then give the HSMO a call at 314 - 951-1562. This sweet pup's animal ID number is A558334
On Tuesday we'll be participating in the Tuesday's Tails blog hop hosted by Dogs N Pawz. This is the blog hop that features shelter pets.
