Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Jun 16, 2013)  — A local animal rescue organization has been busy, assisting other rescue groups and performing local rescues.

Praire Paws Rescue  assisted other animal rescue groups  as an attempt was made to bury alive nine puppies  Saturday at a construction site in western North Dakota, but was unsucessful, when an individual  heard the dogs’ cries.

Prairie Paws Rescue joined other animal rescue organizations in North Dakota and Minnesota to help the puppies, as  all  survived

They  were taken to law enforcement in Tioga, and then to Minot.
A volunteer brought them to Harvey,  where  Prarie Paws, Becky Johnson picked them up and brought them to Jamestown.

The pups were then  transported to Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue in St. Paul, Minnesota,  which has more resources to help care for them than doesPrairie Paws Rescue.

The owner who purportedly tried to kill the puppies is expected have  charges  filed against him.

Prairie Paws  is also assisting the James River Humane Society with a Friday rescue of 28 dogs including a prenant dog and ready to deliver as of Sunday evening.

The dogs were rescued from a hoarding situation in New Rockford.

The JRHS got the  call from law enforcement, and Prairie Paws is going to assist with evaluating the situation.

Those dogs staying in the area will need foster families and will require cleaning supplies, comfort items for dogs, rawhide chews, small collars and small leashes.

Donations of money is best, and individuals  may sponsor a dog’s shots or a medicated dip.

Prepaid gas card donations are aslo a great help.
