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.
