A project to save 144 dogs left stranded
Once upon a time, the remote desert community of Gabbs, Nevada—about 150 miles Southeast of Reno—probably seemed like an ideal place to house rescued dogs.There would be no neighbors to be annoyed by the dogs' barking, no zoning/pet limit laws to worry about, and plenty of space for the dogs to roam.

But there would also be no one to care for the dogs or adopt them if the worst happened—and for these dogs, the worst did happen. In May, their rescuer/caregiver died suddenly, leaving them to an uncertain fate.

145 dogs.

The number sounds overwhelming, and the middle of nowhere is so very, very far from real homes...

But by concentrating on one dog, and then another, it is possible to help these orphaned canines.
