"Unfortunately here with our rescue, we have to keep outdoor animals, there's just not enough space inside for all of them, but if people will just open their hearts and their homes for just a few days to give these dogs a place to stay," Kellar said.

The rescue will provide all necessary supplies, including food, crates, blankets, beds, and any required medical care. With temperatures expected to drop below freezing, exposure to the cold can be dangerous and even life-threatening for the animals.
