Supporter update: First rescue of the year

The latest from the Humane Society of the United States. [The Humane Society of the United States]() [Your impact this month] [A dog lying on a filthy floor]( [73 animals rescued from cruelty in Topeka, Kansas]( The Humane Society of the United States assisted the Topeka Police Department in rescuing dozens of cats and dogs in an alleged severe cruelty situation in Topeka, Kansas. Local authorities served a search and seizure warrant on a residential property at approximately 8 a.m. on Jan. 30. Dozens of dogs, including many Great Dane-type dogs, and cats were found living in filthy, hazardous conditions throughout the debris-filled residence, with no apparent access to clean water. Veterinarians noted many of the dogs are severely underweight and that some of the animals appear to be suffering from eye, skin and upper respiratory issues, including a dog with several apparent untreated tumors in her skin. [We transported the rescued animals to an undisclosed location]( where they were examined by licensed veterinarians and received much-needed care. Now, they're off with shelter partners looking for their new homes. [A close up of a Great Dane-like dog]( [Underweight and neglected dog rescued and on road to recovery]( Britney was one of the dogs rescued from our recent rescue in Topeka, Kansas. Despite us finding her living in a filthy room with a group of other dogs, she was eager when our Animal Rescue Team arrived. It was as if she knew we were there to help. Watch her getting some much deserved hugs and pets. [A side-by-side of a rescued cat and dog]( [Taylor and Kelce, rescued from Kansas alleged neglect case]( Taylor and Kelce were among 73 animals found at an alleged severe neglect case in Topeka, Kansas. They were immediately taken to our temporary shelter, where they received some TLC from our Animal Rescue Team. See their personalities come out, as they take their first steps into new lives! [A small, black fox kit in a cage on a fur farm]( [Largest-ever anti-fur campaign urges Max Mara to go fur-free]( The Italian fashion house is one of the last major fashion brands to sell fur, so if we want the fashion industry to take steps toward compassion, it’s important to expose fur-using outliers like Max Mara. In a modern society, there's no excuse for animal fur and all the cruelty and environmental degradation associated with it. [A group of volunteers sitting around a table]( [What it’s like to volunteer with traumatized animals at our care and rehabilitation center]( The focus on the well-being of the animals in the center is paramount, and any time spent making a connection with one of the animals is a perk. Everyone has their favorites, but each animal makes us hopeful that their second chance to find a loving home is just around the corner. [A donor to the HSUS sitting in the grass with some animals]( [Their shared passion for dogs and farm animals began with their Havanese—see how they decided to support HSUS’s mission]( Their love for Cami inspired Elliot and Rena to learn about animal welfare; they were drawn to the HSUS. Our work to improve the lives of all animals prompted them to include us in their wills.
