PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Cowlitz County Humane Society has rescued 34 dogs, some close to death, from an unlicensed breeder near Kelso.
KGW-TV reports Steven Yaroslaski was cited by the Humane Society for not having a permit and keeping animals in unsanitary conditions.
Animal control officers seized the dogs on Thursday morning. Many of them are puppies, and some of the dogs are pregnant.
They were covered with mud and feces and suffered from a variety of injuries. Some wore bark collars so tight they had cut into the skin of the dogs’ necks
