Animal control agencies in multiple California counties, including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Kern, had been sending animals to the rescue until they became suspicious of "possible fraud." Animal control officers investigated the facility, where their fears were confirmed.
Instead of "rescuing" pets, the owner had locked 15 dogs in her garage, and another 19 inside her home. The bedrooms were filled with feces and urine, and the stench of animal waste filled the entire property. There was no food or water in sight.
Out of the 34 dogs, five were in such bad shape, officials had to rush them to emergency veterinary services. A veterinarian noticed deep wounds in multiple animals, some of which had become infected and begun smelling. Some dogs had lost up to 40 pounds since they entered her property.
P.S. The rescue owner tried to claim that the 19 indoor dogs weren't part of her operation, but instead were "family pets," in an effort to avoid accountability. We can't let this continue. Sign the petition.
