Terrebonne and Concordia parishes / Louisiana
More than 70 dogs from Louisiana have been moved to an Animal Rescue Corps center outside Nashville for care after the nonprofit accepted animals from overwhelmed shelters and several cruelty cases, the organization announced.
The effort, called Operation Little Pumpkins, included 14 small dogs from two Terrebonne Parish cases. ARC said other animals from those cases had already reached rescue partners, but these dogs still needed placement and some had skin conditions or other treatable medical needs.
The group also accepted dogs connected to a Concordia Parish dogfighting investigation, including puppies and a pregnant female, according to its account. Others came from shelters and rescues struggling with overcrowding. The announcement does not identify suspects or report criminal charges.
ARC said its veterinary team was examining the animals at the rescue center. Placement with partner shelters and rescue organizations is planned once the dogs are ready; the announcement does not give an adoption timeline.
The release was posted November 6 with a November 5 dateline. It describes the transfers as recent but does not specify when each rescue occurred.
