Animal Shelter Facing Closure


A Niles animal rescue is being forced to move more than 50 animals, and could face shutting down.

Jennifer Boyer and Nancy Barrows run the Twisted Oaks Animal Rescue out of their home. Right now, they have about 50 abused or neglected animals from goats, to pigs, to horses.

But their property isn't zoned to house all the animals. They have until November 7 to move them off the property to temporary housing until they can find a new farm. The rescuers say it can be devastating for the animals.

“Our biggest worry is that they will mourn or we will lose them,” Barrows told NEWS22. “We just love them -- they are in our hearts.”

The women say they aren’t giving up on their efforts. They are desperately searching for a new farm and money to make the move. They hope to bring their animal family back together again soon.
