I saw this on GG.
TUCSON -- 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 northwest of Tucson.
Some dogs were pregnant and giving birth as they were taken to shelters, said Jenny Rose of the Humane Society of Southern Arizona.
"The home was definitely in very bad condition -- urine and feces all over the home. . . . That being said, [the dogs] were in pretty good shape," Rose said.
No charges have been filed, but a probe is continuing.

I heard this on the news last week and thought I heard wrong because there is NO way 800 dogs could live in a trailer with people and other animals.
I'm glad they were rescued and I hope that homes can be found for them.

This is getting pretty bad, there was one in PA with cats and they even found the dead cats in the freezer. Charges are pending There was another one but they did not fine her as people were dumping off their cats on her and she got over whelmed so they spayed and neutered all the older cats gave them back to her and took the kittens for adoption.
