RENTON, Wash. — Animal control officers in Renton rescued 24 chihuahuas from deplorable conditions Thursday.
The King County Sheriff’s Office found the animals while trying to evict someone at a home on Northeast 8th Street.
When officers arrived, they discovered the home covered in feces and urine and overrun with the animals.
Officers said the dogs were filthy and some looked like they were hurt.
Animal control took the dogs to a nearby veterinary clinic for care.
Police say the owner has 72 hours to file a claim. If he doesn’t, the dogs will be available for adoption once they are medically cleared.
