Over a dozen dogs were abandoned.
Our Operation Humane team is on the ground right now, rescuing 14 dogs from an abandoned property in South Georgia. They were left behind weeks ago when their owner moved away with no notice. No food... no clean water... no care... living among piles of trash inside and outside a home and trailer, searching for scraps and shelter in filth.
Many of these dogs are sick. Some are injured. One is suffering from an untreated gunshot wound that's become infected. All of them are starving and have gone far too long without help.
They could not wait any longer, and this is what Operation Humane was built to do. We mobilized quickly and answered the dire call for help from a city with no animal control.
These dogs are on their way to Atlanta right now so we can provide the critical care they need to survive. We will continue to update as we learn more.
