Animal Rescue Corps Saves Over 70 Dogs in Louisiana Through 'Operation Little Pumpkins'
Animal Rescue Corps, a national nonprofit animal protection organization, announced on November 6 that it has rescued over 70 dogs from Louisiana as part of 'Operation Little Pumpkins.' This multi-case relief effort involved responding to animal cruelty investigations and assisting overcrowded shelters across the state. The operation addressed two animal cruelty cases in Terrebonne Parish, a dogfighting investigation in Concordia Parish, and various overcrowded shelters. Fourteen small dogs with treatable medical needs were taken from Terrebonne Parish, while several dogs, including puppies and a pregnant female, were rescued from the Concordia Parish investigation. All rescued dogs have been transported to Animal Rescue Corps' Rescue Center outside Nashville, Tennessee, where veterinary teams are providing medical care and assessment. One dog, Stephanie, who is blind in one eye and requires ongoing medication, was at risk of euthanasia but now has a chance for recovery and adoption.
