Southern women form a grass-roots alliance to rescue stray dogs and help find them homes.
A chronically overlooked crisis in the rural American South is the vast number of stray and abandoned dogs. But in a small town in northwest Georgia, an intrepid group of local women, dubbed “the rescue ladies,” have stepped up to compensate for the lack of animal shelters by rescuing countless numbers of dogs. The group’s dedication to help the animals goes so far as to transport the dogs to cities in the northern part of the country, where the adoption rates are far higher than the South.
