this has been posted on our Crm listing and many of us have passed it along. Some Col Potter transporters have offered to help.. and IAMS is helping by providing food.

Re: "" Can anyone here Help PLease"""
So happy to hear they are getting some help. Thanks again Sheils for everything! That number of dogs coming into rescue is hard to imagine. I wondered if there were any terriers involved. ??

Thanks! I hated to think of any poor dog in that situation, but the little terriers are closest to my heart. God Bless the Rescuers & the pups!
