Miranda’s Rescue in Fortuna, California describes itself as a “no-kill rescue, adoption & sanctuary facility”. Their site underlines that “There’s no type of animal that we won’t rescue” and that “Many of the animals are adopted out to loving homes while others live permanently on the rescue grounds as sanctuary residents.”
Now the Humboldt County sheriff’s office has been digging up the grounds around the rescue facility as part of a months-long investigation into Miranda’s Rescue, which they say was accepting “hundreds” of dogs from San Francisco Bay shelters in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars of funding.
