Tagline: Millions of rescue dogs from the rural South have been transported to new homes thanks to the tireless efforts of a vast, grassroots network of dog rescuers. FREE PUPPIES! is the true story of where those dogs come from and how a group of women rescuers are working together to save them.
Synopsis: Millions of rescue dogs from the rural South have been transported to new homes thanks to the tireless efforts of a grassroots network of dog rescuers. When Hurricane Katrina left more than 250,000 pets stranded, the infrastructure of modern pet transport for a nation-wide dog rescue effort was born. Since then, individual volunteers, transporters, shelters and rescue groups have created a movement to place millions of southern dogs in areas of the country with high demand for adoption but low supply.
Critic Quotes: “No, they won’t be handed out with tickets, but presumably seeing rescue dogs placed in new homes will make you smile all the same.”
– The New York Times
“Free Puppies! is bursting with appealing canine co-stars, from tiny puppies to veteran hounds. You can completely understand why their plight has captured the hearts of so many humans, and you’ll be hard pressed not to tear up a time or two when their backstories are shared — or when they’re matched with eager adoptive families. It’s dog-gone touching.”
– Betsy Bozdech, Alliance of Women Film Journalists
