Emergency Assistance Needed in Rowan County NC von Rescue Rowan
UPDATE: Due to the recent ice storm in Rowan County, some of the fencing that was containing these babies has collapsed. At least one of the dogs has already escaped and we are looking for her. The situation has become even more urgent and we need to get them all moved even sooner.
Also, once we were able to go inside their enclosures with them, we discovered that most of them are not as socialized as we had initially believed/hoped. Because of this, at this time we are only seeking reputable rescues for them and not pursuing direct private adoption. Ideally, we can find rescues who are local or within a few hours who can come and pick the dogs up themselves.
If you are a rescue who is able/willing to come pick up 1 or more of them, please message the page directly. I have enlisted volunteers to help me answer those messages. I naively underestimated the response this has gotten, which has been amazing and overwhelming at the same time. Unfortunately, most of them are asking me to do things that I am unable to do (arranging foster, vetting and transport for all of the dogs in such a short amount of time). Thank you for understanding -Rachel
Emergency Assistance Needed in Rowan County NC!
We were contacted by a woman whose sister died in an accident last night. The lady had over 30 gorgeous adult dogs and 6 four month old puppies. We think they look like retriever/border collie mixes. These dogs are not current on vaccines and obviously not spayed and neutered. At least 1 may be pregnant.
We've been given 1-2 weeks to find placement for these dogs or they will have to go to the shelter. Our shelter is a very small rural one and does NOT have room for these dogs :( Please help network them so we can get them out asap!
MESSAGE THE PAGE DIRECTLY WITH RESCUE INQUIRIES. If your rescue can just take 1 or 2, that would be great! Private adoption is sadly no longer being pursued at this time. If anyone would like to donate for food or for vetting for the ones we have already been able to remove, the paypal is rachelfromrowan@gmail.com and your donation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

These look like nice dogs. Have any of the media outlets been contacted? Sometimes it helps to get the word out, not everyone uses Facebook.

I am owned by 3 Aussie's. Mandi, Jayco and Zuri. Zuri I found on CL, she is deaf and blind and she is perfect to us. I do not breed, I love. After looking at your pictures and as the property of 3 Aussie's I need to ask why you would not consider a private person who is more than capable of loving one of your babies forever the chance to adopt? I mean no disrespect but with your situation maybe you could look at a few private people aka ME and accept our outside help. My oldest Aussie Max passed at age 14 on Oct 2, 2013. I do not work, I'm a stay at home mom of 3 dogs and 2 two birds and I'm desperately seeking a new owner. I could go to a pet store and pay $$$$ but I want to help a dog who needs help, kinda like yours....I'm here, willing, ready and able to adopt...why NOT me? Just asking...Thank you, I do hope I hear back from you,

After having spent several hours with these dogs, I respect RR decision not to handle private adoptions. Each dog will go to a reputable rescue where they will be evaluated, vetted and rehabiltated before being adopted. Anyone who would like to adopt should contact the rescues that are helping with them and fill out an adoption application. It is heart-breaking to be one of the volunteers here, seeing what we have seen, to have others attack our motives. This is a very unique situation and if you really want to adopt one of these dogs you will be given that opportuninty once all the necessary steps have been taken. We are not saying "No" we are simply asking you to be patient as we want what is BEST for the dogs.

Ok, I know you are all very busy but may I please ask, number one how many are still left, and number two, we are a small rescue but are down in South Georgia, will there be any transpo aid for rescues?

Linda Wright Linton, No it doesn't mean she will be put down as we hope all of these dogs have the opportunity to be rehabilitaed. What it means is we need to spend more time evaluating each dog before deciciding on the best course of action. There is a female that I would love to foster but I will need to visit at least once or twice more to determine if that's a wise decision not only for her, but for my family as well. We are seeing changes, mostly positive, in these dogs every day. As their situation changes so do their demeanors. There is a female there who was very protective of the pups and the house. The puppies have now been removed and we hope/expect that she may be more accepting of human contact now.

Has anyone contacted Angels Among Us to take in more? They took some PUPPIES and a pregnant dog and have gotten in LITERALLY THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of dollars in donations?!

Until they have fosters they can't take them all - I know they are working on it.

Someone here clearly started out with the best of intentions. Heartbreaking. Prayers for all involved in this situation and especially for these beautiful furbabies.

Rescue Rowan - How many of these dogs are still in need of rescue?

Joy Batchelor
Angels Among Us has been to the location more than once already and have taken numerous dogs. And thousands received for them, not true. Fosters lined up for all of them. Not true on that one either. How about focusing on helping instead of coming on here and slamming other rescues.

I know you all have your hands full. So thankful for folks that volunteer to help out animals in need. Once things somewhat settle down will you please post a list of the rescue groups that will eventually have these babies for adoption?

Colorado Aussie Rescue
We are still willing to take some if needed I will contact whomever I need to to help, just let us know. I know that there are rescues closer but if they get to overwhelmed or find one that is having a hard time let me know, I work with those dogs a lot. Also Please be nice I like this page.

Let me know if you still need a rescue to take one of them next week. As long as you have a submissive female, I can help before they go to Animal Control. Suffolk Humane Society- Cindy Confer/Dog Foster/ Adoption.
