KENT COUNTY, Mich. — In December, about ten Michigan animal shelters and the Bissell Pet Foundation planned a trip to Arkansas to rescue as many dogs as they could from a humane society struggling to keep up with the amount of animals they were taking in.
"They just don’t have the resources to care for the number of animals they’re getting in there, and even while we were there, dogs were still being dropped off as we were trying to pull them out of there," said Angela Miedema who was representing Humane Animal Treatment Society in Mt. Pleasant.
