Mulberry Street Dogs Of Adams County Ohio Need Help!!!

Here's the story and description of the Mulberry Street dogs in West Union, Ohio: Adams County.

                                   Awful House Outside

On a quiet street in a small town in the poorest county in Ohio, there sits an abandoned house, covered in vines, barely visible to passersby.  The house is rotten and crumbling.  Boards hold up the front door.  Carpet covers the openings where windows had been.  The floors are made of bare dirt.  Inside the house, eight loving dogs are living alone, abandoned when their owner was sentenced to fifteen years in jail for a crime he committed twenty years ago.  Despite the criminal past of the owner, the dogs were loved.  All but one have been spayed or neutered.  They have collars with current licenses, and are being fed and watered by kind-hearted neighbors.  Some of the dogs are shy and wary, some are quiet, some are boisterous and jolly, but all are desperate for human attention. Each would make a wonderful pet if given the chance.  Any help finding these dogs loving homes or safe shelter with a rescue would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thank you!

Lickety Split Pet Transport got our 3 precious pups, (Tucker, Tilly, and Gee Gee) from the pound to Grove City, so they could get on a special transport to PA. This transport was set up just for them. Now, they can be fully vetted and get the training they need so they can find their forever homes. While they wait, they can run in the grass and play! I love happy endings!!!
On a side note, LSPT had last minute car trouble and work schedule conflicts, but still managed to do this transport. They will be asking for more transport help in the future to get our Adams County dogs to safety. Please consider donating your time and gas to help us. We will post for more help soon.
Also, if anyone can donate a good running van to the HSAC (501C3), please contact Christine Troutman. mountjoyfarm1@frontier.com With a van donation, either from an individual or company, more dogs can get to vet clinics and rescues. The value of the van can be written off your taxes. Once we have a van, then we will need volunteer drivers and gas card donations to the HSAC. Thanks!

Top to bottom: Tucker, Tilly, and Gee Gee.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Christine Troutman, our Humane Officer of Adams County, and her family during this time of grief and loss. Chris's husband, Bruce Troutman: Manchester, Ohio Chief of Police, died yesterday, May 6, 2012.  He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

The Adams County Puppy Project in Ohio

The Adams County Puppy Project in Ohio: litters of pups and their mommas or abandoned pups, or ultra pregnant dogs, don't go into the pound. They go to the HS farm. They get loved and cared for, get wormed and vaccinated, and fed high quality puppy food. When they are old enough for rescue/adoption, they get posted. We have lots of approved rescues wanting healthy puppies. Lots of times, these rescues have the pups spayed/neutered at the Rascal Unit clinics that come to Adams every month or we get our local vet to do it, before they get transported. Or, the rescues S/N the pups upon arrival. These puppies and mommas would most likely get sick if they were at the pound. Most of the mommas get rescued with their pups. Most of the pups have all gone to rescue and there is room for more at the farm. There have been as many as 50! The HS also works with other shelters and takes in puppies. The Humane Society does not make a profit from the puppies. They have donations and grants that cover most expenses. Rescues often reimburse for vetting, too. We give the puppies and mommas the best chance for having a happy life. We are interested in helping your puppies!
To see the puppies and mommas we have available for rescue/adoption, please look at our album on FB.
