A Journey from Cruelty to Compassion

Fifty-one dogs and puppies saved from commercial breeding facilities throughout the Midwest arrived at North Shore Animal League America this week, thanks to our partnership with National Mill Dog Rescue. It was a journey from fear and neglect to hope and healing. Many of the rescued dogs spent their past lives confined; never experienced a gentle touch or soft grass beneath their paws. Now they have a second chance for a better future.

I’ve placed many Torties over the years, and while some share certain characteristics, they all made wonderful companions with the right people. All they needed was understanding.

As each survivor was carried off our Mobile Rescue Unit, they experienced the same thing — their first touch of compassion. Having lived their lives under inhumane conditions in a commercial breeding facility, they are unsure of what to expect next. But that first kind and gentle touch is a promise that their lives are changing for the better. Your donation today can help us keep that promise.
