K9 For Love has 200 Homestead dogs, need food, volunteers, donations for vet care
For the past few weeks, I've been going to Homestead to help out with horrible overpopulation problem in the area. I came across a 73 year old woman named Adela who started a non-profit organization called K9 For Love in 2005. She started accepting owner surrenders and taking dogs from MDAS but soon after, the situation in Homestead got out of hand when people started dumping their dogs like yesterday's garbage.
Currently Adela has close to 200 dogs in her care. As you can see from our pictures, the makeshift kennels are in terrible shape and these dogs deserve better. We are working on getting them out of there one by one...
The saddest part about all this is that most of these dogs have been in their kennels ranging from a few months to a couple of years. Yes, you read correctly... Some have not left their kennels in YEARS. My friends Lorena, Amy and I are helping Adela network her dogs so that they can find forever homes or a rescue that will take them ASAP.
The problem is that Adela has ran out of food again... Imagine feeding 200 dogs per day!! The other problem is that there are about 80 dogs which are not spayed and neutered yet so in order to save these lives, we have to raise money for food and to spay/neuter them so that we can place them for adoption.
You can see some pictures/video of the dogs by clicking of these links:
