Large-Scale Rescue Operation in Southwest Arkansas Rescues Dozens of Dogs

This was part of a large-scale rescue operation in Southwest Arkansas involving dozens of dogs living in restrictive conditions. According to Fox16, a court order was issued to rescue the dogs after the animal rescue was shut down.

Many of the dogs rescued were large breeds, and ARC officials reported the dogs were being confined in smaller cages with limited access. When the rescue team arrived, many of the dogs had been moved to outdoor kennels and had been living at the facility for many years.

The National nonprofit animal protection organization Animal Rescue Corps has taken the dogs to a rescue center in Nashville, Tennessee. A veterinarian will evaluate the animal's condition and plans for long-term care, and hopefully find them a new home with a loving family.
