They need your help...and you came through for
them!

"The vet bill came back
for the 15 they are keeping. The Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project spent $1260 to
get the rest of their 15 fixed, dentals, etc! We expect our expenses to be at
least an additional $8,500. There are just so many more than we were first
told, that we'll be burning the midnight oil trying to find places to put them
all until we find permanent new homes for them. Any support and assistance with
sheltering, placement, adoption, and expenses would be gratefully
accepted."

First
Things First:
 We asked for your
HELP -- The Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project initially expected, and was
prepared for, between 20 - 30 dogs from this intervention. Instead, the final
number was 64. Due to the unexpected number of dogs, limited shelter space, and
lack of physical neglect or abuse, the dogs were removed from the property in
measured increments, as we had places for them to go.
 Even with the help of our
Drive To Save Lives partners
Sheboygan County Humane
Society, Washington
County Humane Society, and Coulee
Region Humane Society, our resources were seriously over-stretched! The
Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project made a financial commitment to reimburse all of
the direct expense incurred by our partners in this intervention, but our
resources were stretched very thin. We need your help. We asked you to donate
money toward vet expenses, etc., and you came through for us! All funds donated
were equitably shared with our partners to cover their expenditures for
veterinary care, spays and neuters, vaccinations and health testing for the
Adams dogs.
Our ultimate goal was to get these dogs
into good, loving, Forever Homes with people who realized that dogs are
lifelong companions that do come with some responsibilities. Many dogs were
adopted straight from the pages of this website! Our
Drive To
Save Lives Photo Album provided pictures and whatever basic information we
had on each, and anyone interested was asked to download an adoption
application to return to our primary "sheltering partner" in this
endeavor, the Sheboygan County Humane Society (SCHS).
We
also asked for shelters and fosters to help rehome the dogs, and again, the
response was just wonderful. SCHS took the responsibility for placing the Adams
dogs with interested shelters or rescues who had foster homes or shelter space
open and knew they could find good, loving Forever Homes for some of these
dogs. Ultimately, all adoptable dogs were placed into carefully screened,
loving homes.
ALL
animals were spayed or neutered by the Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project before
being released to any shelter or adopter.
