The ASPCA is on the ground assisting law enforcement with the rescue and removal of 23 dogs from an alleged fighting ring in Huntersville, North Carolina. The dogsโ€”including seven puppiesโ€”were found tethered to heavy chains and living in filthy conditions. Many were thin and exhibited scars, bite marks, broken teeth and other injuries consistent with this brutal form of cruelty.

The ASPCA has removed all 23 dogs from the property and is transporting them to a temporary shelter where they will receive critical medical and behavioral care. Their situation is urgent and we need your help right now.

These 23 dogs have suffered so much in their lives. They have been betrayed by the only humans they may have ever known. Your most generous gift today can help give themโ€”and thousands of other animals just like themโ€”a chance at a life free from pain, suffering and sorrow. Please make a donation today.
