Nearly 130 animals rescued from dark, damp conditions inside wire cages

The Humane Society of the United States was called in by the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office to assist in the rescue of nearly 130 animals from a suspected puppy mill in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. They were starving for human attention and many had rotting gums and teeth and other serious ailments. But despite their troubles and mistreatment at the hands of the people they’d known, many of the dogs greeted their rescuers with kisses and tail wags as they were removed from the cages that had imprisoned them for all of their days.
