Free Puppies!
Available on iTunes
Christina Thomas and Samantha Wishman's documentary FREE PUPPIES! follows animal advocates/volunteers Monda Wootem, Ruth Smith, and Ann Brown as they travel through the South -- including rural areas of Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee -- to help spay, neuter, and rescue the region's overpopulation of stray or neglected dogs. The women work to transport and treat the dogs, many of which end up in foster or forever homes in the North. All three women drive thousands of miles a week to keep pups from ending up in overburdened shelters that euthanize dogs and to help impoverished dog owners understand the importance of getting their dogs spayed or neutered and on regular medication. The volunteers discuss the challenging and fulfilling aspects of their work.
