NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â A total of sixteen dogs and cats are recovering after being saved from horrible conditions at a home in Giles County.
However, while still successful, this rescue operation looked a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This time we had to really think, how can we be safe? said Laura Baker, Executive Director of the Nashville Humane Association. Not only for the animals, but for ourselves.
Baker joined members of Giles County Animal Control, Lincoln and Giles County Sheriff s Departments and Lucky Cat Rescue in the operation. They were called to a home in Giles County on Thursday. They found 10 dogs and 6 cats living in horrible conditions. One dog was also found dead on the property.
