We are so excited to share some very good news with you! Today, five of the Yorkieshire terriers that were http://member.hsmo.org/images/conten...lder/25451.jpgrescued last week from a substandard puppy mill will be featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show!
In less than a week these resilient little dogs have gone from the horrifying conditions in the substandard puppy mill to Michigan Avenue and straight into Oprah’s arms.
We are so thankful to Oprah and her staff for their continued efforts in raising awareness of the problem of substandard puppy mills in this country.

Chloe on the day of her rescue and 3 days later.Today on Oprah’s show we were able to share the story of how 93 Yorkies were rescued last Friday by our determined Animal Cruelty Task Force. We hope our visit there today will bring attention, and perhaps outrage, regarding the mistreatment suffered by what should be cherished pets. Before their rescue they were forced to endure small, filthy, wire-bottom cages; inadequate care and non-stop breeding. These Yorkies are messengers of hope that someday there will be an end to puppy mills.
We hope their story will bring knowledge regarding the horrific situation of puppy mills and motivate people to act. Please visit our website http://www.hsmo.org/ to read the Yorkies’ story and view the ways in which we are asking people to help.
We will continue to keep you informed in the days and weeks ahead… our rescue efforts continue even as I write this message to you... and we will continue to do all we can to give second chances to abused, neglected and abandoned animals.
Thank you for all you do for us! |
