As for numbers, each person has his/her own number that can be taken care of.

I don't believe that this person consciously knew she had too many and kept taking more in....I believe she just became overwhelmed and the end result was as it is. Not to justify anything, I have seen surrenders in much worse shape than these pups. I see remarks about LP and odd walking....that could be said about a couple of mine but the surgeon I use advises against LP surgery in an adult pup and I have taken them in with varying degrees of LP for evaluation by him. Now, IF they have a torn cruciate ligament, then that is a different story.

I see no good that could come of naming this individual. The important thing is that the pups are going to be ok. Hopefully, so will she.

As for the vienna sausages, apparently that is what a foster home is giving one of the tiny ones without teeth. I am with 107barney in thinking something more needs to be done...I don't know what vetting has been done, but that is not something I have ever fed a pup in my home. I believe there is a post in this thread about this poor pup.
I didn't say going to work was an indicator all is well in someone's world. I said I can't wrap my brain around how someone can be functional enough to go to work yet not functional enough to keep your pets from sitting in their own waste. It's more a question in my own head that I just need to move on from because there isn't an answer to it.

I agree the pups look dirty to me but not all that sick. They look fat. All but the little one who desperately needs a vet who wants to do something like Rx meds and do testing. Any dog can have blood drawn from the jugular and if this vet doesn't want to take blood, the dog needs a vet who isn't afraid to handle her.
