200 English Shepherds
Seized in Montana
Officials in Yellowstone County Montana recently seized 200 English
Shepherds from a breeder in the town of Ballantine.
The dogs were living in horrific conditions and many did not
survive. They are currently
being cared for by the county and a dedicated group of volunteers.
Among the seized dogs are approximately 30 females who are bred
or who have recently whelped litters.
Although the disposition of the dogs is not final until court
proceedings are over, it is certain that many, if not all of these dogs
will need loving homes.
National English Shepherd Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non profit group
committed to helping English Shepherds in need.
They are working closely with MT county officials to evaluate the
dogs and will offer assistance in placing them in homes when the time
comes.
NESR is currently seeking donations of money and supplies as well as
foster and adoptive homes in anticipation of the release of these dogs.
If you can help or would like more information please contact
