Joanne Anderson of Babylon has been following up on the seven Afghan-hound rescues that were brought to Long Island after being seized with 60 others from a New Mexico hoarder.
Scroll down for some photos of them receiving much-needed veterinary care in a mobile hospital. Each dog was carried into the van, double leashed for blood draws and microchipping.
Joanne reports that the "groomathon" began the next night, headed up by local fancier and groomer Anna Stromberg.
"We discovered that Velveeta served as a pacifier for stressed out sweeties," she writes in an e-mail. "The girls, Jane and Charlotte, were most matted ... and most traumatized by the ordeal .... Frost, Mr. Congeniality, really did not like having his ears shaved....acted like the bucking bronco. Anna always has Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, etc..."

What sweet, beautiful dogs! I hope the rest of their lives are spent in loving, happy homes.
Cheese! does wonders. I'm glad they're in a better life now. I hope they get all the love they deserve, and more cheese, of course!
