Six hundred dogs rescued from horrific conditions in Georgia home
As many as 630 dogs were found living in “horrific conditions” at a Georgia breeder’s home, and the Atlanta Humane Society is tending to 10 of them.
The nonprofit organization USA Rescue Team worked with the Humane Society in Valdosta to find and transport the animals. Officials said they found the dogs living in 3-by-4 foot crates on the property.
“They were living outside in homemade sheds, and the crates were stacked on top of each other,” Atlanta Humane Society spokeswoman Christina Hill said. “So when they went to the bathroom, it would drip down onto the other dogs.”
Details about where the dogs were found, how long the dogs had been kept there and the owner of the property were not immediately released.
Many of the dogs had matted fur covered with feces when they arrived at the Atlanta Humane Society’s Howell Mill Road office Sunday morning, Hill said. Several have dental diseases.
