North Shore Animal League America(NSALA) is looking after a pack of over 50 purebred pooches.
The animal welfare organization, based in Port Washington, New York, andNational Mill Dog Rescueworked together to save dozens of dogs and puppies from a Missouri puppy mill.
On Nov. 11, 57 canines from the commercial breeding facility — a group that included Pomeranians, poodles, French bulldogs, Yorkshire terriers, and other purebred dogs — arrived in New York and moved into NSALA’s shelter.

According to NSALA, the 57 dogs are currently in the care of the organization’s veterinary team. Once the former puppy mill dogs and puppies complete their health and behavior evaluations, the canines will enjoy a “spa day.”
The rescue organization added that the future looks bright for the rescue canines. Despite their time at the puppy mill, the dogs are in decent health, though some of the pups are under-socialized. Many of the dogs arrived at the rescue matted, dirty, and in need of affection. NSALA plans to take care of it all.
Once the dogs and puppies from the Missouri facility recover, NSALA plans to make the canines available for adoption. Those interested in giving a home to one of the dogs should keep an eye onNSALA’s website.
“If you’d like to check out these dogs and puppies or any of the other animals we have here at North Shore Animal League America, go toanimalleague.org, or you can visit us at our Port Washington campus,” Moriartes shared.
