Rescue Update
February Rescues Keep HSMO Busy |
Two substandard puppy mill rescues occurring a week apart in February have kept the Humane Society of Missouri staff very busy.
On Feb. 13, working with the Greene Co., Mo. Sheriff’s office, Humane Society of Missouri staff removed nearly 100 Yorkshire Terriers from a property near Seneca. Before their rescue, the dogs had been confined outside in wire cages, exposed to harsh winter conditions. Television icon Oprah Winfrey took an interest in the dogs, and invited the Humane Society of Missouri to visit the show on Feb. 20 to raise awareness about substandard puppy mills. Read more.

Classes to Help Dogs with Behavior Problems

We adopted a Cocker Spaniel from a local shelter. Mickey seems to be okay with women, but barks, growls and sometimes tries to bite men he sees, especially if they are wearing hats. Read more.
