Officers rescue 101 dogs living in ‘egregious’ conditions at alleged puppy mill
RALEIGH, N.C. (CNN) - More than 100 dogs were rescued from an apparent North Carolina puppy mill.
According to the SPCA of Wake County, a person notified authorities in Raleigh about chickens on a property living in poor conditions.
Animal control officers ended up finding 101 dogs that were living inside the home in conditions described as “egregious.” Some of them were in cages with up to six dogs stacked to the ceiling.
Officers said other dogs were also found wandering loose through unsanitary conditions.
Most of the pups were Pomeranians and Yorkshire terriers, along with “doodle” mixes. Some were pregnant or nursing puppies.
Officials said the recovered dogs are being evaluated and treated by veterinarians before they are put up for adoption.
