Here is the message we received today, and we hope we'll be able to assist in some way, but we cannot do it alone:

"Before we begin, we want to extend our deepest thanks for everything you do to help get dogs out of our shelter. Your dedication truly saves lives.

This week, we are facing an extremely urgent situation. As part of an ongoing Animal Control investigation, we will be taking in 7 to 18 dogs starting tomorrow, with more expected in the days ahead.

In order to make space for these incoming dogs, every dog currently available for adoption must be adopted or tagged for rescue as soon as possible. We need confirmed rescue commitments or adoptions no later than Saturday at 3:30 PM, but the sooner, the better — space is critical, and we are already over capacity.

ALL DOGS MUST LEAVE TO MAKE SPACE

Below are all dogs currently available for adoption or rescue. Each one of these lives depends on immediate action. Please consider adopting, rescuing, or sharing with your network today.

We are doing everything we can, but our shelter space is extremely limited. With so many dogs coming in as part of this ongoing Animal Control investigation, we must move these available dogs out now to prevent euthanasia for time / space.

To tag a dog for rescue or request more info:

Email: dcanimals@duplinnc.gov

Phone: (910) 296-2159 EXT 2

Even if you can’t pull at this time, please share this message widely.

Every share helps us reach someone who might be able to help."

Here is another message we received, asking for urgent help, and once again we need YOUR help:

"For some of these dogs, this is sadly their last chance to make it out of the shelter. We know most rescues and shelters are drowning. But if you have any room, please take a look at some of our dogs in need. I have attached extra pictures and videos for some of them to help you see a bit more of their personalities.

Please let me know if you are able to help!
