Rallying support to save the animals
In Lyles, Hickman County, Tennessee in the US, 34 starving dogs were discovered during a rescue operation.
Mikaela Lambert, president and founder of the "Mikaela's Must Motel" rescue centre based in Clarksville, raised the alarm.
"We worked tirelessly to mobilise animal shelters, partner organisations and volunteers," Mikaela Lambert told pet website The Dodo.
After a drive of nearly two hours, rescue teams joined local humane society officers and Hickman County officials at the scene.
"It's wonderful to see them coming out of their shell"
All the dogs were taken into care and placed with different foster families. Although past trauma still leaves some of these dogs feeling fearful, daily progress is already clear to see.
"It's wonderful to see them coming out of their shell. Some are even learning to play with toys for the very first time," said Mikaela Lambert.
As soon as their health and emotional well-being stabilise, all 34 survivors will gradually be put up for adoption to find their forever homes.
