I just received this from the Rescue group I donate to please read and if you can help contact the Ottumwa Humane Society:
Hi there,

We have a large number of Pembroke Welsh Corgis coming into the Heartland Humane Society in Ottumwa, Iowa. These corgis have been surrendered from a puppy mill. Our Lakeshore Rescue has been contacted to help with foster care and placing these corgis. Rumor has it, there will be eventually up to 50 corgis turned in.Currently there are 16 there and I am told that they are for the most part, in good health and happy dogs.

Needless to say, this not only breaks my heart, but if our organization would fund the veterinary care and transport of all these corgis, it would break our bank and we will no longer be in operation. We simply are not solvent enough to help all of these Pembrokes.

So I am turning to those of you in neighboring states that have an application on our files in hopes that you will find it in your heart to go to Ottumwa and look over the corgis and take one or two home with you. If you are not able to travel that far, I will hope that you will consider sending the Lakeshore Pembroke Welsh Corgi Rescue a monetary donation in any amount, to help us help as many of these corgis as possible. You can find donation information on our website at :
www.lakeshorecorgirescue.com .

Please feel free to contact me, Yvette Huesler, Lakeshore Rescue Vice President at 715-675-9867 or allcorgis@gmail.com or corgirl@airrun.net if you have ANY questions. I do plan on getting at least 5 of these poor things here in foster care by the end of the coming weekend.

I truly hope that you are able to help us out.
Below find the contact info for the Humane Society.
Thanks you so much,
Yvette

I visited their website, but didn't see anything about the Corgis, but I did email to see if we can help. Thanks for the note.

Just a suggestion: contact PetSmart Charities to see if you can receive a grant to help with the care of these precious pups. You can go online at http://petsmartcharities.org or I'm sure there's a phone number for them that can be found there. Grants are part of what our charity does, so don't hesitate to contact them. Best of luck. Prayers abound.
