A little over a week ago, I received an urgent email from a good samaritan in Mt Ida, AR.  The night before, in the middle of a severe thunderstorm, a friend had just seen six very matted little dogs near a creek in the backwoods near Ouachita National Forest.  She and her friend stayed up until 3:30 in the morning finding, catching and cleaning up the five little dogs that she was able to catch.  The sixth hasn’t been seen again.

Here are a couple of pictures of the dogs she found.

She contacted me immediately to see if we could possibly take them.  How could I turn these babies down?  Even though we are O V E R F L O W I N G with dogs right now, did I say we had a LOT of dogs?  Yes, we have many, but we still wanted to give these babies a chance at a good life.
