They are going to need a lot of help.
http://www.ketv.com/news/13337441/detail.html OMAHA, Neb. -- More than 170 animals living in substandard conditions were taken from a dog breeder in central Nebraska on Wednesday night and transferred to the Nebraska Humane Society.
Investigators said they found dogs that were forced to stand 24 hours a day in wire cages. Some of the dogs were pregnant and all were filthy, investigators said.
It took hours to check in the 170 dogs. Three of the animals will most likely have to be put down because of aggression, said NHS's Mark Langan.Langan said workers ran through a checklist on each dog, noting the sex, breed and a guess about each dog's age. Medical issues were also noted.
The dogs will take a while to get ready for adoption, but NHS President Judy Varner said she expects Omaha to come through for the animals once they are ready.
"It would be wonderful for some of the dogs who have lived their lives in these conditions to spend the last years of their lives in somebody's home," Varner said. Because the dog breeder surrendered the dogs he will not face any charges. However, he will not be allowed to ever breed animals again, NHS officials said.
The Humane Society is already full, so Varner said room will have to be made for the dogs. There will be a half-price sale on animal adoption beginning Sunday
