The dogs of Operation Carolina Torment: 200+ more reasons to choose adoption

"If only people who are buying these dogs could look around and see what this is like."

February, 2024: The dogs and puppies, mostly miniature schnauzers and schnauzer mixes, were removed from deplorable conditions in an alleged puppy mill by Animal Rescue Corps in collaboration with the Chatham County Sheriff's Office and BISSELL Pet Foundation, with support from Nashville Humane Society. Two defendants have been arrested and charged with multiple charges of animal cruelty.

The remains of multiple dead dogs were found on site, including three in a burn pile and one in a trash can. The surviving dogs, including newborn puppies, endured prolonged exposure to high levels of ammonia, resulting in dehydration, malnutrition, parasites, untreated injuries and illnesses, severe matting, skin conditions, and other life-threatening medical conditions consistent with chronic neglect. A large number of the dogs are suffering from coccidia and many from pseudocoprostasis, a life-threatening condition preventing normal defecation. Numerous dogs are pregnant, adding to the population in ARC’s care.

In partnership with the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office, Animal Rescue Corps extracted and transported the dogs into ARC’s care, where they are receiving specialized and daily medical, physical, and social care.

“Every rescued dog from a puppy mill represents a triumph against cruelty,” said Tim Woodward, Executive Director of Animal Rescue Corps. “We work to shed light on the dark reality of puppy mills and emphasize the transformative power of adoption in providing these animals with the love and care they deserve."

We've always had rescues or shelter pets. Currently, we have 4 cats and 2 dogs that are all rescues of some sort. I just couldn't imagine any other way. Thank you for all your team does. ❤

[Linandemma]

There should be a proper global organisation that pulls all the animal shelters together. Takis shelter is the way to do it. Look it up. Xxx love from UK.

Adoption is not only my first choice, but my only choice. I have two rescue Foxhounds from the South (Tennessee and North Carolina), and not only are they wonderful dogs, but one is a purebred Foxhound abandoned and very skinny in the woods, and found with terrible sarcoptic mange (almost no hair when I got him), and the number "5" spray painted on his sides. He is a sweet boy who loves long walks, cuddling with my other dog, and eating treats. Adopt a rescue because many "purebred" dogs sold in expensive stores often live in filthy conditions and are in bad health. Adopt, Don't Shop. <3

God is blessing all of you for saving these sweet innocent souls and for give them the chance to have a better life, yes, animals are also living beings NOT OBJECTS, they also know what is love, suffering, hunger, thirst, cold, fear, joy and deserve love, security, dog education, respect. Thank again🙏😽💕🌿🎈❤️☀️🐕🍀

We adopted the cute little Dobie taken from this rescue. She is super sweet and her name is now Breezy and that's what her life will be from now on. She lives in GR, Mich.

The real question is why people want purebreds so much they would risk buying online with no due diligence? The best way to stop this sort of "supply" is to undercut the demand.

What is the punishment for these breeders?

[pattiannepascual]

So instead of all this suffering, why doesn't every state have severe no breeding laws with minimum mandatory 1 year in prison for every dog bred? mandatory spay/neuter, mandatory current registered microchip, so owners who breed, dump, abandon, can be found immediately. Seems like the entire animal rescue and shelter system is profiting greatly in some way or these laws would have been in place nationwide, decades ago. They are very simple laws, so no excuse. Instead, just keep rescuing and rescuing, with no end in sight, because if the irresponsible owners and mills aren't punished severely, they will just keep doing it.Makes no sense we can make du-mb laws about plastic bags and paper straws, but not simple laws to actually protect animals.

No this is not where all breeding dogs come from stop spreading lies.
Adopt and Shop responsibly
