ASPCA Helps To Rescue 349 Dogs From Ohio Sanctuary

You might have already heard this heartbeaking but crazy story, but the ASPCA's perspective is worth reading.

The ASPCA field Investigations team and the Clark county Humane society worked together last Tuesday to rescue 349 dog in various stages of illness from "One More Chance Rescue and Adoption",  an obviously failed animal sanctuary near Springfield, Ohio. The local humane society realized that immediate action was needed, and together with ASPCA field workers removed all of the dogs in one day-a herculean task. Unfortunately they also removed 76 dead dogs from the property.

The dogs were taken to an emergency shelter near Columbus where they are receiving medical care from various veterinary groups, including The Ohio State University. "This is a situation that spiraled out of control," said an ASPCA Field Representative.
