22 Dogs Rescued From Home Of Bucks Co. Breeder: SPCA

QUAKERTOWN, PA — Nearly two dozen small dogs were rescued from "filthy" conditions at the home of a breeder in Bucks County this week, authorities said.

The SPCA described the home as being in an unlivable state for the 22 pups.

The dogs have since been transported to the SPCA shelter in Lahaska for examination and treatment. The plan is to put them up for adoption once they're fully healthy and neutered.

Meanwhile, animal cruelty charges are being pursued against the breeder.

The latest rescue comes just a week after more than 100 cats were rescued from a home in Doylestown, while 59 were found dead.

The recent efforts to protect local cats and dogs have put the Bucks County SPCA's two shelters at maximum capacity, officials said.
