SALEM, Mass. (WLNE) — The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA-Angell) has taken in 12 hound and beagle mixes that were removed from a home involved in an animal cruelty case.
The dogs range from one to 10 years old and arrived at the Northeast Animal Shelter on February 18.
“More than 50 dogs were surrendered last month by an owner who had been living with them on a single property where they weren’t getting the care they needed,” said MSPCA-Angell Vice President of Animal Protection, Mike Keiley.
“That’s a huge number of dogs entering shelters in the Midlands region of South Carolina that are already at or over capacity.”
The dogs will be quarantined for 48 hours and will receive any needed medical care before being put up for adoption.
“The timing of these pups’ arrival is kind of perfect in that we already have an adoption event happening, which we hope will help open up much-needed kennel space,” said Keiley, referencing the Missed Connections adoptathon that is running now through February 23.
