8 Boston Terriers in Need of Help in Shelter in Kentucky

by Loretta
(New Jersey)

On 12/7/2010, 40 Boston Terriers were confiscated in a drug raid in rural Powell County Kentucky. The owner lived in a single wide trailer with all of these dogs.

The state police busted the owner, and she was put in jail, but released on bail. She was allowed to atke back more than half of the dogs, and left 8 of them in HORRIBLE CONDITION ( mange and malnutrition) in the Powell County Dog Pound, where they were not treated.

A member of the Boston Terrier Club of America was alerted to this situation, and the dogs were pulled from that pound, and are now getting vet care and treatment. They will be up for adoption in about a month.

This was a crime for the animals, and the state of KY did not care about the dogs, and neither did the media there!

Please see a photo of one of the dogs and their story at www.FOPCP.com

Any help would be appreciated!! They WILL ALL NEED HOMES!

 The Lucky 8 are all in forever homes!
by: Loretta

Happily, all of the 8 bostons are now in forever homes!

Thanks to all that helped with their cause!

Special thanks to SCAS and all of their hard work...and thanks to all of the members of the Boston Terrier Club of America that donated so generously to fund their vet care.

It took more than a village to save just these 8 dogs--and please remember to help all of the other thousands of dogs in shelters --they all need homes!

 We have a Powell county dog
by: Teri

Yesterday we adopted one of the Powell county dogs. She still has a long way to come emotionally, but her physical condition is quite good. We are so grateful to the folks who rescued her and fostered her. I only wish they had not been allowed to keep so many that should have been confiscated.
