Katherine Heigl Instagram – They were waiting in the pre-euthanasia room for their turn to die. Some as young as 10 weeks old—tiny lives that had not had a chance to begin.
On Thursday, staff at the Kern shelter called my @jasonheiglfoundation in desperation. They were about to euthanize over 28 dogs—three entire litters of motherless puppies among them—to make room for a massive hoarding/boarding case. By the time we got the call, five dogs were already gone. We don’t know if any of them were babies.
This is not the fault of Kern. This is the fault of backyard breeders and the public who treat lives as disposable.
Twenty-eight Cane Corsos were dumped like trash, and the shelter had no choice but to clear space.
But we did have a choice. And we chose life. We pulled 11 souls from that room of death:
🐾 Appletini – 10 wks, Female
🐾 Bellini – 10 wks, Female
🐾 Jameson – 10 wks, Male
🐾 Whiskey – 10 wks, Male
🐾 Nelly – 1 yr, Female, German Shepherd
🐾 Ming – 1 yr, Female, German Shepherd
🐾 Spencer – 15 wks, Male
🐾 Jordan – 15 wks, Male
🐾 Jerry – 15 wks, Male
🐾 Larry – 15 wks, Male
🐾 Norman – 15 wks, Male
They should never have been in that room. They should never have been minutes away from death. But now, they have a chance—because we refused to let them be forgotten.
Watch the video. See their faces. And please, help us give them the future they almost never had.
