Freedom 46 - Please Help!
On Saturday, July 25th, OBG Cocker Rescue facilitated the rescue of 46 dogs off of a property in Virginia. These dogs were living in a hot barn without anyone to give them proper exercise or keep their water dishes filled. They are now safe with OBG vets and getting the care and attention they need. This is a massive undertaking.
