The No Dog Left Behind Landplane rescues 30 dogs, including mother and pups, from horrid conditions in Morehead, KY to a life filled with potential in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Kentucky is often faced with an over-abundance of animals in their shelters, all vying for space. The No Dog Left Behind team’s mission was to support these shelters and animals by transporting them from Morgan County Animal Shelter, Wags to Riches and Wolfe County Animal Shelter to four great receiving organizations New Lease on Life, Cross Your Paws, Senior Hearts and Bridge to Home.
The Dogs’ Stories:
The cast of dogs and pups that were on this fortunate trip have had a few battle scars in their life.
Zena – a proud new mother of 6 – was found in a barrel covered in mud, where she had delivered her 6 puppies.
Bocephus was found with rubber bands on him, presumably from a home-style medical procedure.
Bear, a gorgeous German Shepard, was found astray with a mangled foot and he will be getting the surgery and care he deserves thanks to the amazing hearts at Cross Your Paws.
Harry and Halina are two senior dogs that will be getting specialized care from Senior Hearts Rescue and Renewal. Harry unfortunately was hit by a car which broke his jaw and hip, which was not treated at the time of the incident but will now be taken care of.
Erwin, a poodle aged 70 in dog-years (or just 10 years old), was so heavily matted that he dropped nearly a quarter of his weight on intake after he was shaved!
This trip was symbolic in a way that went beyond just saving dogs in need. It was also an emotional trip for supporting a new mother in need (Zena) and a family in hardship (Zena’s pups). It was about supporting those injured or with deformities (Bear and Harry), reaching a helping hand out to the elderly dogs (Harry, Halina and Erwin) and caring for the neglected.
