January 31, 2025 transport to Operation Paws for Homes & Briggs in the Mid-Atlantic (we also had the pleasure to help transfer 2 dogs for another rescue, RUFF Rescuers United For Furbabies). We drove to Doswell, Virginia to meet the SaveDog Project van, who then carries on the mission of delivering these pups to OPH fosters in Springfield, VA. & Pikesville, MD. THANK YOU to everyone that makes saving these dogs a reality! Team work is the dream work!

Winter weather has been a challenge and thanks to the dedication of Midsouth volunteers, Sue & Dwight, who drove through the night (had to stop in Indiana because of white-out conditions!) over 1300 miles round trip to bring 35 dogs to our wonderful rescue partner, Animal Rescue Project in Kalamazoo, Michigan. We're grateful to all of the volunteers that make saving these dogs a reality!

Cruelty cases are a sad reality of dog rescue, but now two puppies have hope for a better future thanks to Deputy Ray from the Prentiss County Sheriff's Department and Midsouth who stepped in to rescue 2 pups from the frigid cold and unsafe, unsanitary conditions.
