| Wow - I was surprised to see this. I thought Washington already had enough dogs up for adoption with the 600 dogs taken in from that expanded family puppy mill bust -- but ... Dogs rescued from puppy mill fire arrive in Spokane Dogs rescued from puppy mill fire arrive in Spokane - KHQ-TV- msnbc.com SPOKANE, Wash. - 12 English Springer Spaniels made their way to Spokane Valley Saturday morning, in search of a good home. The dogs were rescued from Missouri, where their previous owner allegedly set fire to their kennels after officials contacted him about not having a breeder's license. The puppy mill, reportedly contained 200 dogs, 95 of those were Springer Spaniels. You tube video shows the dogs in deplorable conditions, malnourished, scared, and traumatized. A local contingency of a Springer rescue group made their way to Missouri to rescue the dogs. They picked up 41 dogs total. Some were dropped off in Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado and Montana. 12 were brought to Spokane Valley at Ray's Auto Repair where they were cleaned and groomed by local dog lovers. The remaining Springers were taken by an east coast contingency of the rescue group to find homes in the eastern part of the country. Rescue operations are funded by donations from the public. Two of the Springers brought back to Spokane are pregnant. Volunteers say they are in need of bedding and towels. If you want to made donations, please contact Heather Fall at 509-842-4380. Fall will arrange a way to pick up the items. To make monetary donations, you can drop off at following places: Kootenai Animal Hospital in Post Falls, the VCA on North Division, Mountain Empire on Sprague or All Creatures Veterinary Clinic. Those interested in adopting or becoming a foster owner should go to the website English Springer Rescue America

| Best Friends was asked to come onto the site and help catch the dogs and help with their distribution to different rescue groups. You can see the actual video of this rescue..It is not as bad as most of them and it is very heartwarming. Latest News | River Valley wrap-up | Best Friends News & Top Stories

| Glad to have people be able to see this rescue and the actual place, even though this one was not as bad as some. I wish I lived with Best Friends but no they are in Utah. I am a member and I do most of my donations with them but maybe when I retire. I think they are the premier animal advocacy group in the US. I know you would enjoy going to Dogtown to see what they have done. Two books have been written about them and I believe they have a wonderful way of helping with change.

| Springers Rescued from Puppy Mill to Find New Homes in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa Springers Rescued from Puppy Mill to Find New Homes in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa WQOW TV: Eau Claire, WI NEWS18 News, Weather, and Sports-Springers Rescued from Puppy Mill to Find New Homes in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa Posted: March 9, 2009 08:35 AM Eau Claire (Press Release) - Nine English Springer Spaniels rescued from an intentional fire set by a puppy mill breeder will find new homes in the Upper Midwest, thanks to the efforts of English Springer Rescue America, a national breed rescue organization. The group is transporting six Springers to Wisconsin, two to Minnesota and one to Iowa this weekend. They will go initially to foster homes, then be put up for adoption at our rescue website English Springer Rescue America. The dogs were rescued after an unlicensed breeder intentionally set fire to his puppy mill facility in Ozark County, MO on Feb 24th, 2009, leaving the dogs without care or shelter. The facility housed more than 200 dogs, which were left to roam the property. The dogs were relinquished to state animal welfare officials. ESRA has accepted about 70 English Springer Spaniels and an undetermined number of unborn puppies. State officials reported that the dogs were in "fairly good" condition and the MO Dept of Agriculture, with assistance of local animal welfare groups, gathered them and began transporting them to regional veterinary medical facilities. ESRA was alerted to a potential seizure several months ago, but was not sure when it would occur. Thanks to the forewarning, a transport team was set up and many additional foster homes approved. Volunteers are traveling to MO to transport these dogs across the United States to their respective foster homes from Washington to Ohio and from Minnesota to Florida - made possible thanks to dozens of dedicated ESRA members and volunteers. ESRA is grateful to the many generous people who have already contributed time, energy and money to the rescue of these neglected animals, but its limited resources are being severely strained by this influx of dogs, many of whom may be in need of expensive care. ESRA estimates that expenses for this endeavor will be thousands of dollars. To adopt a Springer or make a donation specifically for the MO dogs' care, see the ESRA website at English Springer Rescue America.
