An Idaho animal shelter has received multiple dogs that were 'severely neglected' and is asking the community for help.
Blackfoot Animal Shelter & Rescue posted on Facebook Tuesday that they received eight severely neglected and emaciated Great Danes and mixes. An animal shelter employee said there was a ninth dog, but the dog was found dead inside a home and did not make it to the shelter."They are in very, very bad shape. It's touch and go at this time. We just have to watch them. They have been given shots.
Pictures posted of the dogs show them in the condition they were given to the animal shelter: dirty, skinny, and unhealthy. The Facebook post has over 200 shares and over 90 comments that say, "So unacceptable!!! Someone needs to be held accountable!" and "This breaks my heart." According to a statement from the Shelley Police Department, on Jan. 31, the dogs were seized by officers from a Shelley home after the department received complaints about the animals' well-being.
"We are currently working with the prosecutor to determine what charges will be filed against the owners," the statement from the police department said. "We are grateful for the communities concern about these animals and the help from the Blackfoot Animal Shelter."Facebook post"People donate throughout the year for our medical fund.
