This month, Bark Nation assisted local, state and federal law enforcement agencies with the rescue of 108 dogs from a large-scale suspected dogfighting operation. While we cannot disclose many details of this confidential case, we critically need funds and immediate help from our supporters to ensure these dogs have an option for #lifeaftercruelty.
Prior to Bark Nation’s initiatives, nearly 100% of dogs rescued from dogfighting operations in Michigan were euthanized. We believe in changing this status quo, and our data agrees with us - since 2018, Bark Nation has successfully placed over 400 survivors with the help of our partners.
In our care, these sweet babes receive top notch veterinary care, tailored medical, behavioral, and food plans for their specific needs, enrichment/food/kennel cleans twice a day, and the ability to not only learn that humans are awesome, but also how to be a dog at their own speed. The “P2 Crew” is comprised of over 70 unpaid volunteers that have a heart for this mission. Needless to say, we have the greatest volunteers around. It costs our organization $1,431.99 on average to get each survivor ready for their new life. Your support – even just for one survivor – would help considerably to increase our capacity to help save lives.
From skin infections to radiographs to Babesia to heartworm disease to breeding complications to sexual trauma and more, estimated costs of this massive life-saving operation are $154,654.92.
We KNOW dogfighting exists because combating it is expensive. We KNOW these dogs deserve LIFE. And we KNOW that, together, we can #EndDogfighting. Please join us in providing the most amazing lives for these 108 deserving, sentient souls.
