The name of the kennel is in the article and I think there were 72 all together but the first article I read this morning said they had to put a few to sleep.

That's so sad....

I read that too. On the humane society's website, they have a link to donate, if anyone's interested. I'm donating a little bit. It looks like the "kennel" website is down now, probably so that they wouldn't get so much hate mail or something.

It just breaks my heart and makes me so angry at the same time. No one should treat any other living thing like that, but huskies have a special place in my heart that makes it much more tragic. I wish I was close enough to help them by fostering or something. And the person behind all of it deserves to be shot. Ugh.

I saw that. I immediately looked up the website, and it said "forbidden." I assumed the same, that they took it down because of the hate mail. What's even worse is that the kid was involved. Makes me sick!

People like that should be thrown into a pit of hot wax and made to stay there forever.

This just makes me feel sick! How can the humans even stand to live in a house with a dead goat!?! These people have issues! It sounds like the abuse was discovered by accident... I'm just glad the little boy and the dogs have been removed from this horror!

This is less that 40 minutes from me and makes me sick. Them poor babies

I didn't know a kid was involved! Last night, the only info available was about 72 huskies and some goats. Those poor huskies and poor kid

Yea, a 10 yr home alone with a dead goat in the living room. The kid answered the door.

Yeah, that disgusted me the most. If you want to live like that, that's gross as it is, but a KID?! Who knows what kind of disease he could have gotten from a rotting goat carcass!

I wish I lived closer. i would easily house some of those babies. I think that if any of us can, that are closer we should. Those poor huskies need some TLC

Yup it's Howl N Wind Siberians. They were a very reputable breeder for like 30 years and did showing and sledding. It's unbelievable that this happened.

We put in a foster application so we're waiting to see if transport can be arranged.

They need Purina Dog Chow and lots of volunteers!

Think they would meet us half way, or allow for a few rescues out here to help? we have some fantastic husky rescues.

That is so sad. Wish I was close enough to help!

People like this merit every ounce of physical and financial pain that can be thrown at them.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Thats not to far from my hometown. So sad! Heading up to Eau Claire next week, maybe I'll have to take a side trip to donate some food.

Whats the website we can donate at?

I found this

Now the hard work begins as rescuers search for foster and adoptive homes
while healing the sick and injured dogs in their care. The Humane
Society has issued a plea for donations, and the first priority is food.
If you are able to donate, or to foster or adopt a dog, please contact
the Fond du Lac Humane Society at 652 Triangle Road Fond du Lac, WI
54935. Phone: (920) 922-8873.

I just googled to find the rescue's site and it has a donation link. I haven't seen an update yet about the huskies on the site, but I figure everyone's really busy with them.

If you're bringing the dogs we should meet at the dog park in EC

Update from earlier Saturday morning:

So much work to do -- we apologize for not responding to questions and comments. All of the huskys are doing well. They are very thin but are all back to being hydrated : ) We have had several rescues and shelters contact us and will be calling all very, very soon. The most important thing right now is the health and well being of these very sweet dogs. A huge thank you goes out to Charter Co...mmunications and Diamond Auto for helping us on a moments notice with trucks and drivers to transport all the dogs! Lillians of FdL (Main St), Head to Tail (Satterlee St), and the Forest Mall (Johnson St) are drop sites for donations for the dogs. We are going to go through a lot of Purina adult dog chow. We will also have adoption applications at these 3 sites as we are taking applications now, but are trying to keep the traffic and phone calls at the shelter to a minimum. Thank you everyone for all of your help!!! Our next hurdle is grooming...arggg...all 69 need to be seriously groomed and their coats are very, very bad...it is going to be a huge project. If anyone has any ideas we would appreciate it : )




They're currently looking for people to help transport the Huskies to rescues and other shelters..

You can make a donation here; http://www.fdlhumane.org/make-donation.iml

Hopefully by grooming they don't mean shaving... So sad

Thats what I thought too, Kristina. Based on some of the comments on fb, I think they're talking more like bathing and brushing for them. If I had to bathe 70 Avas, I think I would lose my sanity...Poor babies.

Bringing the dogs, but I may just leave them at my parents house in Stevens Point, not sure yet. I'll PM you when I sort out the details of my trip!

Well Minnesota Unwanted Siberian Husky Rescue is taking in a bunch of the dogs. They said a looooot of the females are pregnant I emailed them and will probably end up fostering for them, potentially whelp a litter, we'll see..
