A newly formed dog rescue operating from Mound City is on the lookout for donations to help with their startup.

Dirt Road Rescue, a 501C3 organization, was founded by core members Melayna Johnson, Megan Purvis, Janet Jackson and Samantha Ekwuru, for the sole mission of saving the abandoned, abused, neglected and in-need animals in rural Eastern Kansas, particularly in Linn County.

“Basically, our goal is to help with abandonment rescues in the rural areas,” said Purvis, adding, “and we also want to raise money to help cover the costs of spaying and neutering so more families can keep their animals.”
