204 Yorkshire Terriers rescued from small garden shed
More than 200 dogs have been rescued from a garden shed where they had been left crammed in ‘horrific’ conditions. The Yorkshire terriers were discovered after their 73-year-old owner, a dog breeder from West Sussex, died.
The 204 dogs were stuffed into tiny carrier boxes in a 40 feet shed with no windows - six puppies were found dead. Animal Welfare Rescuer Billy Elliott said: “I’ve seen some awful things in my time but that was by far the worst. I will never forget it.”
A number of the dogs have now been rescued and microchipped and will now be house trained before new owners are found for them. People from as far afield as Canada and America have already offered to rehouse the dogs.
A number of wild cats were also found in the shed but their condition was reported not to have been as bad as the dogs.
