All 23 pups have been spayed or neutered and have received all their necessary medical check ups. Now, they just need a loving forever home.

PIERCE COUNTY, WA — The Pierce County Sheriff's Department and The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County are teaming up to find new homes for nearly two dozen dogs in need.
As deputies explain, all 23 pit bull pups were recently recovered during an animal cruelty investigation. Since then, they have all been spayed or neutered and have gotten check-ups and any necessary medical care, so they're in tip-top shape.
Now, they just need new loving homes.
