Walnut Creek animal center readies 10 dogs rescued from Stockton hoarder for adoption

Joybound People & Pets in Walnut Creek has taken 10 of more than 60 dogs recently seized from a hoarding situation in Stockton. 

The animal rescue group said Wednesday in a statement the dogs were removed from “heartbreaking conditions” last week in which they were “neglected, confined, and in desperate need of care.” 

“Understanding how challenging hoarding cases can be for local agencies, Joybound People & Pets proactively reached out to Stockton Animal Services and offered support,” the group said. 

Many of the dogs Joybound recovered Tuesday are Yorkshire terrier, poodle, and Chihuahua mixes.

Each dog received a thorough veterinary exam, necessary medical treatment, and “compassionate attention to begin the healing process,” the group said. 

The group said the dogs will soon be available for adoption

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
