From Connie at IDA:

"This is an update on the situation down in Florence, OR where 50-60 dogs need to be transported TOMORROW from their current living situation to foster homes.

Matt and I were there yesterday. We took 30 crates from the Oregon Humane Society down to help in the transport of the dogs. Here is the latest information on the situation:

On Friday, September 2nd ONLY, from 10am - 4pm, animal control is assisting with access to the property to get as many of the dogs out as possible. At 4:00 pm tomorrow, the gates will be locked and the dogs will be turned over to Lane County Animal Control.

We are in desperate need of help; drivers with large vehicles and rescues able to help with even just one dog. We have plenty of carriers we just need big vehicles to transport the dogs in crates. We also need foster homes desperately.

If you can help with anything please contact Loretta Fleming at 503-469-8074. She welcomes any type of help and support.

If you can join the caravan to Florence tomorrow, they will be meeting at the Howard Johnson's at I-5 and 217 at 8:00 am. "
