If you have heard of The Gentle Barn then you know the work they do. Recently they saved ten dogs from a shelter in OH that was supposed to be shut down due to poor conditions and animals being mistreated. After The Gentle Barn went cross country to pick up the dogs and care for them, the shelter not only stayed open but has taken in more dogs living in terrible conditions. There's a bunch of us on FB trying to get help in this matter. If you are on FB and go to The Gentle Barn page you can read more details and what you can do to help.

I know the stories are hard to read...
I read them anyways, stare at the computer as my eyes start to fill with tears that it becomes harder and harder to focus and finish the story...
then i keep crying... but these places bring happiness to those animals that have had it bad Before, and Now they are safe and Happy!!!
