More than 60 dogs arrived in Colorado Springs Friday after being rescued from puppy mills all across the Midwest.
A lot of the dogs are in pretty bad shape, most have lived in cages their entire lives and some have never even seen the sunlight until now. They are all in desperate need of vet care, but most of all they just need a lot of love.
Friday afternoon a handful of volunteers had a first chance to see the dogs; there are all sorts of different breeds of both big dogs and small dogs. Many of them will be available for adoption once they are determined to be in good health. Until then, they will be placed with foster families.
There were volunteers that were close to tears seeing the condition that many of these dogs are in, an example they say of what life in a puppy mill can do.

Joseph is way off track, the wonderful people of Colorado Springs have all teamed together to get foster/adoption homes for these unfortunate pets. You would have had to have been there to appreciate the wonders of a good community. It sometimes takes a village and these volunteers gave 100% and also brought neighbors and friends to help including many other rescue organizations. What a wonderful community we live in with very caring helping people. Some people need to get the facts before they comment.

Puppy Mills are NOT about a love for animals. Puppy mills are all about the almighty dollar. The love of money is what drives people to breed animals and put millions more in this world when there are so many healthy, loving pets that die, simply because there aren't enough homes. The pet overpopulation problem is huge and puppy mills are major contributors to that problem. Don't breed or buy while so many homeless pets die. A pet is a committment life and should be a member of the family. Unfortunately, for some people a pet is a novelty and once that novelty wears off they get rid of it. God Bless this rescue for doing what they're doing to help. And thank you KKTV for doing this very important story. So many people are moved by the plight of innocent, defenseless animals.
