THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) -- More than two dozen animals, including dogs, cats, and rabbits, were rescued from an animal shelter in the Bronx on Thursday, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The animals were rescued from a shelter on East Gun Hill Road due to poor living conditions, the ASPCA said.
The ASPCA and the Bronx District Attorney’s Office collaborated today to rescue more than 30 animals, including dogs, cats and rabbits, from a self-described shelter on East Gun Hill Road in The Bronx, N.Y. The animals were removed from the property following the execution of a search warrant after authorities received multiple reports of animals living in poor conditions. The animals, including young kittens, are receiving veterinary forensic exams, and will be transported to ASPCA facilities where they will receive medical and behavioral care.
Photos obtained by PIX11 News appear to show some of the animals with red eyes and unkempt fur being rescued by ASPCA volunteers.
