14 dogs surrendered from breeding facilities now available for adoption in DC
WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — More than a dozen dogs are looking for their new families in the D.C. area after they were surrendered from the Midwest.
The Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA) in D.C. said that it welcomed 14 dogs that were surrendered from commercial breeding facilities.
It took in these dogs as part of a partnership with Bissell Pet Foundation and other organizations from across the nation. Almost 200 dogs and puppies were transported.
