In a heartbreaking story of abuse, 24 dogs, including 11 newborn puppies were rescued from the home of someone who was found "torturing" the dogs. This abuse cannot go unanswered. While the perpetrator is already being charged with animal abuse, they clearly need mental health counseling and must never be allowed to own animals again.

Tragically, two of the rescued dogs had to be euthanized immediately and other dead dogs were found on the property.
The details emerging from the police report are deeply disturbing. The person responsible for this horrifying cruelty kept these animals in unimaginable conditions, depriving them of water, proper food, and basic care, leading to severe malnourishment and the death of several dogs. The severity of neglect was compounded by physical abuse, where dogs were reportedly punched with brass knuckles and kicked.
