Yesterday, 50+ Dogs Found in Puppy Mill Bust in NC
Yesterday in Rutherford Country, North Carolina, more than 50 small-breed dogs are recuperating at the Humane Society of Charlotte, after being rescued from a suspected puppy mill in Rutherford County.
"Right now these dogs are in really bad shape" said Jorge Ortega, of the Humane Society. "We have one dog that's missing an eye due to an old injury. We are seeing severe mats. A lot of dental problems."
Humane Society officials say the dogs include English bulldog, yorkie, cocker spaniel, French bulldog and shitzu breeds.
According to officials, the dogs were found on three different properties by the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office in poor conditions and in need of medical care.
The Humane Society of Charlotte's Emergency Response Team was asked to assist.
"This is the 20th rescue that The HSUS has assisted with in North Carolina since June 2011," said state director Kim Alboum.
