Over 50 Puppy Mill Rescues To Go Up For Adoption In Port Washington

PORT WASHINGTON, NY — More than 50 dogs rescued from U.S. puppy mills will soon go up for adoption in Port Washington.

Rescue teams from North Shore Animal League America — which brands itself as the world's largest no-kill rescue and adoption organization — will be returning to its Port Washington campus this weekend, according to officials.

The animals include a variety of pure and mixed, small-breed dogs, including Cocker Spaniels, American Eskimos, Poodles, Yorkies, Dachshunds, Maltese, and Schnoodles. They will be groomed by staff and examined by a veterinary team. Once cleared, they'll be available for adoption, which officials estimate will be in the coming weeks.

The rescue mission was a collaboration between North Shore Animal League America and its long-time partner, National Mill Dog Rescue.
