LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Six dogs were rescued from an apartment in Las Vegas this week after the tenants, who were facing eviction, abandoned the unit, according to an animal shelter.
The Nevada SPCA responded after five bulldogs and one pitbull were found in the apartment on Wednesday, May 7.
Apartment management inspected the unit after the tenants turned in their keys. No food or water was left behind, according to the organization, and the unit was “left in deplorable conditions.”
Nevada SPCA staff and volunteers mobilized to help the apartment management bring the dogs to safety.
“These animals were living in extremely filthy conditions,” animal care director Megan Waldron said in a statement Friday. “We are committed to ensuring that these dogs are now safe and will receive the care they need.”
All six dogs are receiving treatment and will be spayed or neutered before they are rehomed. They are currently not available for adoption, but the Nevada SPCA says it will share future updates via social media.
Clark County Animal Protective Services is investigating the case.
