100 Dogs Rescued from Salt Lake City Home

In a remarkable display of community action, Salt Lake County Animal Services and the Humane Society of Utah have successfully rescued 97 small dogs and a tortoise from a hoarding situation in Salt Lake City.

The rescue operation was initiated after a concerned neighbor reported the conditions at a residence near 200 B Street.

Upon arrival, officers discovered the animals living in cramped and unsanitary conditions.

The homeowner voluntarily surrendered all the animals, and while no arrests have been made, the case remains under investigation.

Following the rescue, the animals were transported to the county shelter, where they received immediate medical attention and care.

Staff and volunteers have been working tirelessly to ensure the well-being of these animals, providing vaccinations and monitoring their health.

To prevent overcrowding, the Humane Society of Utah stepped in to assist by providing additional resources and transporting 36 dogs to their facility.

Despite the initial conditions, the dogs are reported to be in better health than expected.

Most of the rescued dogs will require spaying or neutering, and some will need dental procedures.

These procedures are scheduled to take place in the coming days.

For those interested in adopting, the Humane Society encourages the public to monitor its website, which updates every 30 minutes.

Community members are encouraged to consider adoption or fostering to help provide these animals with the loving homes they deserve.
