800 Dogs Rescued From a House (Yes, 800!)

Posted by Alex in Animal on November 11, 2008 at 3:19 am


Think you have a lot of pets? Try this one for size:

About 800 small dogs, including Chihuahuas, terriers and Pomeranians, were seized from a triple-wide mobile home whose occupants were overwhelmed trying to care for the animals, authorities said Wednesday.

Pima County sheriff’s deputies and animal welfare officials who removed the dogs also found 82 caged parrots in the home in a rural area northwest of Tucson.

That surely beats the previous record we saw on Neatorama: Russian Cat Lady Lives with 130 Cats

    Well, at least it was triple-wide.

    “overwhelmed” … that’s the understatement of the decade.

    Good grief… I will never understand animal horders. Or these old farts who were obviously just doing it for the money… damn backyard breeders.

    My hands are full with 3 dogs; 4 until recently. Wow, how did they live with the stench and filth? Disgusting.

    Makes the crazed cat lady look like a sane person.

    This actually happened last March. When I saw the post I thought, “There can’t already be another over-the-top animal hoarder in Pima County !”.
