The reptiles were deprived of food, water and proper habitat. Some of the reptiles are illegal to own and put the community and its pets at risk.
Kona and her 8 pups were found locked in a sweltering trailer of a pickup truck. Kona’s owner was using her to breed puppies for purpose of dog-fighting. Luckily the pups were discovered in early training stages and had not been fully exposed to dog-fighting.
Eleven sick puppies from PUPPY 4 YOU pet store survive. Most were left with life-long conditions and others with short life expectancies.
More than 400 animals were removed from a squalid home. The Nassau County SPCA says the rescue – dubbed “Operation Noah’s Ark” – lasted eight hours. The raid came after neighbors complained about the noise and smell from one of their neighbors homes. The stench was so bad, investigators put on hazmat suits to enter the house. Animals were living in filthy water and had no access to food or drinking water.
Bella, an 11 year-old family dog, was brutally beaten with a shovel.

Even though Sergeant Farthing wanted to stay in Kabul alongside his staff, he finally left the country with two hundred dogs and cats on a privately funded plane. According to AP News, Farthing and his team made it to the Kabul airport on Thursday, August 26. However, all of his Afghan nationals couldn’t leave, despite having all of the proper paperwork. It took days for them to get everything in order and prepare to leave the country. Since there was so much controversy with evacuating the animals, it looked like it might not even happen. Yet sadly, after lining everything up for not only the staff but also the animals on board. However, everything turned upside down, and only the British Troops who helped the project in Afghanistan were able to board the flight alongside Sergeant Farthing. The animals are in the United Kingdom, currently quarantined, and Sergeant Farthing is working diligently to get his staff safely out of Kabul. However, much like other citizens in the country, it will be a long uphill battle.
These dogs can detect explosives, find illegal drugs, and look for fallen soldiers as well as enemies. Some serve on the front lines, and others work as therapy dogs to help the brave men and women who worked tirelessly on a mission of peace for the last two decades. According to The Atlantic, these dogs share many of the same jobs and their human counterparts’ inherent risks every day. Aside from the dogs who work tirelessly in battle, there is another group of dogs who need evacuation alongside the brave men and women who are Afghan nationals and those trapped in a country that has fallen back to the Taliban regime after President Joe Biden’s failed and tragic withdrawal from the country.
Animals that were rescued thus far are suffering from respiratory infections, eye infections and other ailments. Additionally, ammonia levels in the home were toxic.
