Merlin ID: 560372

The Humane Society of the United States is assisting the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office in rescuing dozens of dogs and more than 10 puppies from an alleged cruelty situation in San Miguel County, New Mexico. The San Miguel County Sheriff’s Office is also providing assistance on-scene. The dogs were found living outdoors in crowded, filthy pens, some with no apparent access to food or water. Some of the dogs hid behind pieces of plywood and in various makeshift structures, while others appeared curious and approached rescuers. The rescued animals are being transported to a temporary shelter in an undisclosed location where they will be examined by licensed veterinarians and receive much-needed care.
