ARC Rescue Training
Donation protected
In 2012, John and I started investigating and documenting a suspected dog fighting ring near my home town. We had a very difficult time getting help and resources to make any progress with helping the dogs for a very frustrating two years. TWO. YEARS. Nobody knew whose responsibility it was to take action, and nobody seemed very concerned.
Finally, this past April, our friend and ARF director - Pippa Jackson, got us in touch with an amazing organization: Animal Rescue Corps. Within two weeks, Scotlund Haisley and his amazing volunteers had boots on the ground cutting 11 dogs off chains and cutting one dog out of a metal box. Operation Delta Dogs was a huge success!
Dogs that were confined to a life of torture and violence are finding homes, families, and receiving real LOVE for the first time in their lives.
The work that ARC does is amazing. Last month, they rescued over 130 dogs from a puppy mill. The video of the man that laid still so the little Boston Terrier could snuggle up to him? ARC made that happen!
On September 6th and 7th, ARC is hosting two training courses in Nashville, specifically for animal rescue. This helps educate volunteers how to provide emergency response in animal rescue situations, as well as in-depth coverage of the rescue world (including cruelty laws, photography, behavior assessments, medical triage, and a ton of other aspects).
This is something that John and I would LOVE to be a part of, and think this would be a wonderful way to expand our rescue capabilities (and volunteers who've had the training are first called for rescue operations!). Unfortunately, with our big move, it's not something we can afford entirely out of pocket. So we're asking for help! Every bit helps, and if we end up not getting enough, we'll refund any contributions (or donate them if you like).
