This is the story of Tessie and Lucy. This is Tessie and her momma. They are tiny.
Happening Now - Operation Holiday Heartbreak. ARC is deployed to northwest TN today to assist the Dyer City Police Department with a large and urgent cruelty case: 75+ dogs and puppies left behind in a filthy, rotting house. The property owners moved away and returned only to feed the animals. Donations matched to go 2x as far, please help! bit.ly/holidayheartbreakARC
The dogs have been left alone, facing overcrowding, fighting, and some of the worst ammonia levels ARC has recorded to date. The dogs are small and medium-sized and range from a puppy of only three weeks to pregnant mothers to elderly dogs with dementia - they all have been severely neglected for some time and have numerous untreated injuries and conditions. This is a cruelty case, the animals have been seized and ARC is documenting cruelties and creating evidence packets, with all animals headed to ARC's Rescue Center outside Nashville for urgent care. bit.ly/holidayheartbreakARC
When Cathy Bissell of BISSELL Pet Foundation heard about the desperate situation, she immediately, compassionately, and generously pledged a $10,000 matching gift challenge to help the dogs of Operation Holiday Heartbreak get the lifesaving care they need. Joined with the $25,000 year-end matching challenge from compassionate Berty White Andrus and two anonymous donors, your gift today can be matched up to $35,000 or until December 31, whichever comes first. Rescue and protect these dogs and support all of ARC's work with your gift today, and double your donation. bit.ly/holidayheartbreakARC
