Three years running, Bridge to Home Animal Rescue has used New Year无毛视频檚 Eve as a day to rescue dozens of dogs at once.

Crompton gave credit to the crew of fosters who 无毛视频渟tepped up无毛视频� and took two or three of the dogs into their homes, as Bridge to Home does not have a brick-and-mortar location.
The organization will take dogs of any breed or age, but the animals also need to be family-friendly pets.

Though they were able to rescue more than three dozen dogs, Crompton notes the number is less than last year.
