New Lebanon, Ohio – This week, 46 dogs were rescued from a hoarding situation in New Lebanon. The Humane Society of Greater Dayton said their agents responded to a home on West Main Street and found dozens of dogs and puppies living “in extremely poor and unsafe conditions.”
In a social media post, the animal welfare agency described the alarming situation, writing:
The air was thick with the strong odor of ammonia from feces and urine. Many dogs suffered from overgrown nails, flea infestations, and malnourishment, while several nursing mothers were weak and underweight. Humane society agents also noted a clear lack of ongoing veterinary care. A small number of cats were also removed from inside the residence and from an outdoor enclosure.
On Wednesday, the organization provided an update:
We are beyond grateful for the incredible outpouring of love and support from our community following the rescue of 46 dogs from unsafe conditions earlier this week. Because of your compassion and quick response, every single one of these dogs has now been placed into a loving foster home where they can begin to heal, decompress, and start this new chapter surrounded by care and kindness.

The evil barbaric people responsible for this sickening cruelty must pay!!! Hang them!!
No comments yet? Unbelievable. It’s so damn tragic that such innocent, adorable souls are put through such hells. Who does this?! Why?! Recently had a cat hoarder case in our condo complex. About 35 cats “living” in a small condo with a couple of “cat lovers.” It was a real hell hole, everything plastered with feces and urine, with litters of pitiful kittens being born too. Nothing was being done for months because of lack of care by city animal control and police. I contacted the county and finally something was done. Almost all of the un-spayed cats and kittens were taken by an animal org. and the professional cleanup is still going on a week later. These hoarder types had better stick to collecting THINGS and not precious lives.
