The 130 puppies facing death after they were seized from a hoarder because shelter can't cope with all of them


More than 130 dogs saved from a hoarder in California two weeks ago need to be saved again – but only rescue groups can save them now.
The dogs were seized from Rainbow's End Animal Sanctuary in Apple Valley on June 18, where they had been living in one large pack for years without proper food, medical care or human interaction, San Bernardino County Animal Care and Control officials said.
Some dogs had to be euthanized for health reasons. The rest can only be released to rescue groups because of the costly and extensive medical care and behavior work they need.
