The Atlanta Humane Society says its team are rescuing almost two-dozen dogs from a situation described as dangerous, in the heat “with little protection from the elements.”
The humane society’s Operation Humane received a call for help from the local county sheriff’s office to help 23 dogs that had been living outside on a property in southeast Georgia.
Several of the dogs appear to be suffering from severe medical issues, including hip dysplasia, which affects their mobility and even their ability to sit comfortably. The full extent of their medical needs won’t be known until they are all examined.
"Right now, our focus is simple: getting every dog to safety so they can begin receiving the medical care, nutrition, and compassion they deserve," Atlanta Humane Society said.
The agency said they would provide further updates on the dogs’ conditions when they can.
