Providing a roof over an animal’s head is not enough when you get a pet. Food, care, and attention are some other basic things someone should be willing and able to give to an animal when they decide to have a pet.

Animal Rescue Corps, a non-profit organization that aims to protect “animals through large-scale rescue, disaster response, & education,” initiated “Operation Holiday Heartbreak” to rescue the dogs in the said house.

On December 26, Animal Rescue Corps went to northwest Tennessee to help the Dyer City Police Department rescue 75+ dogs and puppies left behind in the rotting house.

Many of the rescued dogs were Chihuahuas or Chihuahua mixes. The owners had left them in the filthy house and only came back occasionally to leave them food. Some of them were only weeks-old pups. Some were elderly dogs, and there were pregnant dogs too.

Health Concerns

The dogs showed signs of long-term neglect. They had bite wounds from fighting, parasites, and several serious untreated conditions. Animal Rescue Corps also reported a dangerous amount of ammonia in the house.
