This rescue shook us all - Stray Rescue of St.Louis

[@lizcassettai7459]

WTF is wrong with people who do this to poor innocent dogs. Even if they went to prison, it doesn't compare to what they did to all those dogs. Thank you to all the people who helped rescue the living dogs and taking the dead ones . Wonderful people.💖

[@marykacollins9191]

I still don't understand how some people can dump their animals what's wrong in this world thanks for saving all of them hopefully they find a loving home soon 👍🐕

[@TheArendt1]

Thank you guys, for saving these vulnerable creatures and giving the dead a descend burial.

[@randygunn9499]

I'm a Minnesotan and I can't thank all you guys and gals from St.Louis for your Love and Big hearts for saving and giving loving homes to all the furries. Hats off to you all!

[@candicelaurence9506]

Thank you for rescuing all those precious dogs. Thank you too for honoring the deceased dogs with cremation, they were not forgotten.

[@michaeloffman8694]

Dear God. How does a hell on Earth like this happen? To see Donna and staff tenderly and respectfully pick up the many (SO MANY) dead dogs has me just weeping. Please everyone....DONATE, DONATE,DONATE. I need to go throw up now. Dear God in Heaven. (Ann)

Saving lives while walking among the dead. What a hard day it must have been. Thank God for you all!

[@monatoney3474]

OMG!!! ANOTHER SAD RESCUE 😥 😞 THANK YOU STRAY RESCUE ANDDONNA❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🧡❤❤❤

[@juliep9156]

What kind of hell on earth was that? Those poor pitiful animals. Thank you for all you do.❤️

[@debbieparker7756]

It hurts my heart to see these precious babies so mistreated Thank You So Much for bringing the babies back with you who didn't make it the dignity you should them was beautiful Love To You All

[@angelanicholson951]

Though scared, the relief on those dogs faces was apparent. Giving the deceased dogs the dignity they deserve was extremely moving.

[@ms55938]

This is worrisome! No matter how diligent you are, there's always the fear of one or some being left behind because they were too fearful to come out of hiding. I pray they all are rescued! Seeing the dead ones really breaks my heart.

[@butterfly2604]

Hopefully the local rescue will follow up or at least needs to be notified if these folks drove 21)2 hours.

[@tiffanyh629]

In cases like these, you'll always will have the heaviness in your heart of the possibility that you couldn't rescue them all. But sometimes, you just have to take the moment to step back and say, "This is all I can do for now. Tomorrow is another day." Helps the heart break a little slower

[@deborahbush6320]

Please don’t leave any behind I know you will do everything possible ♥️🐕🐩🐶 I am praying for all of them

[@Spike-ck5tj]

You did an amazing job, thank you. That looked like a nightmare scenario, and hell hole for the dogs. Thank you for helping the survivors and those that had passed were not forgotten and given the dignity in death they sadly never experienced in life. Thank you to all involved.

[@patriciakunz1198]

Incredible people - scared and now cared for dogs.

[@oooo-pq5rf]

its really painful to watch you guys lost words and i do literally feel your shock,sad,anger,agony...

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

I am really glad you've included the unflinching - 'not pretty side' of rescue: finding those dead, dear creatures who did not make it into rescue hands. People need to make this connection between abandoning animals, allowing them to be un spayed/un neutered, or discarded like trash. It makes for some tragic scenarios. We look after 11 community cats here outside New Orleans. They are all fed by us, and have been TNR'd by the local humane. Other friends of community colonies look in on them as well as us. We urge everybody: support, donate, volunteer, advocate for mandatory spay neuter. Do whatever you can. Step up! Get onboard. God bless y'all...

[@melissahopkins8036]

We have a colony of 37 ourselves, all TNR'd by us alone. It's heartbreaking and rewarding at the same time. And we agree, people need to see this video. Rescue isn't always fluffy puppies and cute kittens. Sometimes it's gritty and sickening.

[@whocares6698]

You can see the fear and confusion in their eyes and then at the end with the pictures at the foster homes you can see the hope. Thank you for what you do

[@sue1699]

Some people can make a hell of a mess, for animals and the environment. Bless all you who rescue.

[@justdawnsoullessginger3536]

I can’t imagine how gut wrenching this was for y’all. Thank you 💜 And Thanks so much to the Fosters!! 💜

[@danielecourtes3912]

Tous ces animaux laissés pour compte, c'est lamentable, c'est la même chose qui se passe en France, c'est pareille, tous ces animaux abandonnés c'est vraiment dégueulasse. Vous êtes super. Continuez à vous battre pour la bonne cause. Félicitations à toutes et à tous. MERCI BEAUCOUP.

Oh this one breaks my heart and then heals it again - so glad that you managed to save so many!!!

[@lunkis3233]

Thank you all people who made this happen from rescuers, vets and fosters..

[@lisashinn8168]

THANK YOU to all (from those who called for help but got none..... those who took food to them.....the rescue who couldn't ignore their plight......the fosters who opened their homes) who helped rescue these terrified babies and for not leaving the ones who didn't survive this hell to rot and be forgotten. I rescue in my hometown, work 3 jobs to take care of and support many innocent animals tossed out like a piece of used furniture. My babies (mostly rescued cats) and I have sent a donation....I wish it could be sooo much more.....all the best to you.

[@lpperrone]

Most definitely will be sending another donation. Looking at their faces I see a soul looking back at me! There are no words!!!

[@EdurtreG]

How heavy this must weigh on your hearts. So much respect for the rescuers and the fosters. All the best.

[@daisycocoa2557]

Donna works very hard physically. She’s not a young woman and I’m sure it’s a challenge for her. Long day for all the hero volunteers. Bless all of you, great work 👏

[@kathykay6602]

Donna works hard physically and emotionally. To see all these dogs some barely alive and some dead takes a toll on anybody! She is strong! I love Donna.

[@mariahsmom9457]

LOL Donna isn't exactly elderly, either. She doesn't appear to be struggling with the physical work.

[@tinabop187]

You have done an amazing job. I love that you go out of your way to get the deceased dogs and give them the dignity they deserve.

[@chipbuttytime3396]

i am surprised the other dogs did not eat them, no joking

[@KarenDeines]

Heartbreaking for all of you, but you are heroes for giving these poor dogs a future that will be wonderful 💗💗💗

Please can you look into the yulin dog and cat meat farms and the dog meat farms then Humane Society International they are trying to Stop The Evil Cruelty thank you 🙏

[@jessicahernandez4174]

Those babies deserve better than what they were given before you and your team showed up, thank you for all your help, hard work and time. R.I.P. for the babies who sadly couldn't be saved, and thank you for taking their bodies away from that tormented place.

[@yepperooyepperoo5800]

Obviously, they all are in shock

[@thulekovish8188]

Bless your hearts, to all the good folks involved in their rescue and fostering. I wish I could physically help but I don't live in the same State. These babies look scared, can't blame them but they're the lucky ones from the moment you caught them. Can't wait for more updates.

[@georgiapuppie]

Some did look scared, but there was lots of tail wagging too!

[@melissahopkins8036]

You can do it where you live. Fostering is in great demand.

[@mboss7428]

Thank you for helping these angels I’m praying for you sweethearts 🙏🙏🙏🐶🐕

Poor animals! They didn't do anything to deserve being treated that way! Some people! Wish them all the best!

[@goldie7656]

This just broke my heart and made me cry. How could you leave these babies in these horrid conditions. God is going to bless everyone one of you rescuers. I pray that you are able to rescue all of them and thank you for giving the deceased ones some dignity in death

Wonderful job, all of you, including the locals who’ve been feeding the dogs & who worked so hard to find them the help they needed, & everyone who stepped up to foster! I love how everyone from Stray Rescue worked so calmly, quietly & compassionately together for the benefit of those lovely spooked & mistrustful dogs. Thank you all.

[@christineliechti3771]

God bless you people. Not only do you guys have compassion, you also have courage. I love animals but don't know if I would have the strength to face the death of those poor dogs. That would emotionally destroy me.

[@sallyrussell8180]

Even just watching on a video, it's horrendous & heartbreaking. I feel for the staff that had to personally experience the sight, odors and full-on neglect.

Whenever I see these rescue videos I just want to love on every single one of them. It is so heartbreaking to see the ones who didn’t make it. And it is sad to say that those poor babies that passed were probably shown more love (even though they had passed) on this day then they had in life. Thank you to St. Louis Rescue, you are truly angels on earth ❤️

My heart is broken to see those that didn't make it...how could people just dump them.....you are ANGELS sent by God ...thank you ...Thru my lifetime I've had 15 dogs and 7 cats and every time I had to say goodbye , it was the worst thing in my life but I was there with them so they didn't die alone...I'm so sorry for those that died alone. RIP Little Angels!

[@Tj-dd9ws]

God Bless you !, it’s so sad !, a lot of cruel people out there, a lot of dumping’s and it’s just getting worse, because too many people in the world. Not including Breeders. Having litter after litter, after litter, !, that’s why it’s so important to spread the word to people to get their Pets Fixed!, it would really help lessen abuse and abandonment, 1 dog or 1 cat fixed, per litter that’s approx 12-20 babies , if they only have 6-10 babies , we need to report abuse if seen ! Jail, a fine and rehab ! teach young folks and people not to abuse animals , and if they cannot afford, love , time , food , medical, training , toys , kennel , a pet is not for them , it’s gotten way out of hand !, Thank god for these selfless good people scouring the earth looking for them , but if selfish, greedy people cut back on the baby making , then everyone could focus more on helping pets in shelters stay alive and find forever homes 🙏🏾♥️ Thank you for saving all you have, it’s appreciated 🌹

[@lisacepluch1152]

All the experts on hand! What a great job you guys did. Thank you for stepping in to help when it seems like nobody else (official) would. And God bless the neighbors that were doing their best to watch out for these dogs. They're going to have a great new life ahead of them!

[@sandyrey6357]

Omg, I didn’t know there were so many homeless animals in this country also.

[@cathyt144]

If we had more low cost spay and neuter programs it would help a lot. More shelters ,funds, education ,training programs for dogs and owners .more Animal control officers available.,more fosters. It all comes down to funding ,just like anything else . Sadly,the animals arent put on the top of the list. Our govt had rather feed and house illegals and drug addicts and lawbreakers they allow to get out of prison because of politics. Ive been involved with dog,cat and bird rescue for years and theres times ive just sat and cried and then when you have success stories it makes it worthwhile because youre able to see the difference made .

[@synchronicity1470]

​@G Dunn If the Republicans in gov't are always voting to cut funding for Social programs for the environment, food safety regulations, the poor, homeless, mentally ill HUMANS, you can be sure they would be unlikely to allot manpower & financial resources for ANIMALS, right? That represents the Republican mindset of gov't officials. RepCons care abt Big Business & cushioning the wealthy with tax breaks. RepCons do not respect humans in need or the planet. They cater to corporations. On the other hand, the UK's RSPCA should be the model all countries & the US copy, as it is amazingly humane & exemplary.

[@areyoukiddingme6741]

First of all, THANK YOU! Rescues this large always worry me. The poor dogs are not spayed or neutered and are free to reproduce repeatedly. My fear is that there are hidden babies, mama dogs who’ve done their best to protect them from the elements, and foxes etc. Seeing how diligent you are gives me hope. I love that every dog went to foster care and clearly loved it. 💕🐾
