From Chained Backyard Dogs to Centerstage Dogs

In the middle of scorching hot June, we rescued 5 dogs from a backyard in Midland County. Their situation was brought to our attention by neighbors who were concerned for the safety and well-being of the dogs. They were all in bad shape - 2 of them were chained all day and the others were confined in a yard with no ample shade. One of them was badly scarred from a fight with a coyote. 

When we chatted with the owner, he admitted that he could no longer take care of the dogs. His late wife rescued strays and had been their primary caretaker. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to give these dogs the care they needed.  He had been reaching out to various rescues for help and was just about to surrender these dogs over to the city shelter.
​
PUPdate: 
Benny, Sparky,  Marley, Runt, and Cookie!

MHC stepped in so they did not have to be surrendered to an overcrowded shelter.  These 5 dogs have been safely in our care ever since.  We have moved forward with their rehabilitation and vetting to get them ready for adoption.

They have received plenty of love, nourishment and have enjoyed being safely indoors and are all doing a lot better now.  They will all be ready for homes soon!  


Here's an update on each of them:
Benny had an infected scar and needed treatments. He is also scheduled to be neutered. 
Sparky is almost done with all the vetting and will soon be ready for adoption. 
Marley is waiting for his appointment to be neutered. 
Runt & Cookie (smaller dogs) are ready for transport! They leave us on July 13. 

If you're interested in Benny, Marley or Sparky, you may visit them at MHC Adoption Center. or Email ADOPT@midlandhumane.org 


Recently, the fabulous cast of Summer Mummers did a photo shoot to help promote MHC. These 5 backyard dogs rose to the occasion and stepped up onstage for a photo session. Check out the slideshow for their glow ups! 

Summer Mummers photos were taken by our incredibly talented volunteer photographer, Tasha Sport Pet Photography. Book with her to get exceptional pet photos taken! She makes pets look even more adorable! ​
