Impact & Wet Nose Rescue Keep Puppies Warm
bethannaHere are four small puppies pictured with some of their favorite ladies- all Impact Thrift staff. These pups are littermates who were rescued from a violent home. The puppies and their mother have since been adopted into wonderful homes through Wet Nose Rescue. Thanks to Impact, the little cuties always had warm blankets to sleep on for the two weeks they were in foster care. Wet Nose wishes to thank "all the people at Impact who have been so special and supportive of our efforts in saving dogs. We are a non-breed specific rescue that places unwanted and abandoned dogs in wonderful new homes. Check us out at www.wetnoserescue.org"
