More than 30 dogs have been rescued from a home in England which was so cluttered that some were able to hide for a week. The RSPCA carried out a large-scale operation to recover all of the dogs after a police welfare check found the homeowner had died
The RSPCA carried out a large-scale operation to recover all of the dogs after a police welfare check found the homeowner had died.
The terrier dogs ranging from four-week-old puppies to ten years old may have been left to fend for themselves for some time before the discovery of their owner's body on 15 January. Animal rescue officer Brian Milligan said:"The last two puppies we found were caught using a cat trap, which proved a tricky process as the dogs were too light to set the traps off.
"We went to the house every day over a week to conduct extensive searches to rescue every dog - in the end we had to clear every room."The rescued dogs are being cared for at several RSPCA animal centres and a small number are to be taken on by a local charity.
