An Ohio-based association is preparing to welcome dozens of dogs who lived in deplorable conditions in Texas. A long journey awaits the volunteers and the animals, all of whom are Chihuahuas.
Recently, authorities in El Paso , Texas, made a shocking discovery at a local property. About a hundred Chihuahuas lived there, almost crowded together, in very difficult conditions. It is not specified whether it is an illegal breeding or a case of Noah syndrome. The first track seems most likely, the dogs all belonging to the same breed.
Among the associations that have offered to help in this case, the Humane Association of Warren County is willing to take care of 50 to 60 of these canines. Unfortunately, several of them did not survive, deplores Joanne Hurley, who heads this organization based in Lebanon, Ohio.
