—
BOCA RATON, Fla. (CBS12) — Twenty dogs were rescued from dire hoarding situations in rural Arkansas and brought to Boca Raton for a second chance at life.
Tri-County Animal Rescue welcomed the 20 dogs — part of a larger group of 80 saved by Animal Rescue Corps (ARC) — at the rescue headquarters on Thursday night after a long journey.
The non-profit said the rescues, all surrendered by their owners, were found in appalling conditions. Among them are two labradors with their newborn puppies, chihuahuas suffering from severe skin issues, and a female dog believed to be pregnant.
