Big-hearted New Yorkers opened their hearts and their homes to 50 rescue dogs of all ages who arrived from Kentucky on Saturday afternoon. In Hell’s Kitchen, the Muddy Paws Rescue rescued the dogs from the Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society after severe flooding caused the shelter to become overcrowded.
Volunteers came out and collected the dogs where they will be fostering them for several weeks until they are ready to be adopted.
Check out the video. It will make your heart smile:
Muddy Paws Rescue has helped more than 6,000 dogs and puppies find home since 2016. Click here for more information and how you can help by donating, fostering or adopting.
And not only did New Yorkers step up to help, rescuers from other states answered the call. In Union Grove, Wisconsin, Rescue Outreach, who have in the past partnered with Kentucky River Regional Animal Shelter, reached out to the community for help with donations of money, pet supplies and clean water. The rescuers were able to fill up a 15-foot goose neck trailer full of supplies.
In addition, they joined other rescues from Wisconsin and Illinois and drove to Kentucky to transport another 60 animals to safety. After the pets have been given a health check, they will be available for adoption.
We will be updating.

While everyone means well some of these animals have families that will be wondering what happened to their family member. After the Joplin tornado in 2010 some animals were never seen again after they were rescued. Case in point Bring Hannah Home (facebook page) was rescued then just disappeared. She survived the tornado after being ripped from her mom’s arms, was picked up by someone who claimed to be working with a rescue and was never seen again even though the ASPCA had set up a rescue building. Moving so many pets so quickly after a disaster doesn’t give people enough time to look for their pet. Pets should be held at least 2 weeks before moving them to other states.
