Twelve puppies have been rescued from a 'filthy' breeding operation raided by police and the council. One of the dogs, who was in pain, was being kept in a cage so small they couldn't even turn or stand up freely in their crate.
The unlicensed dog-breeding operation had several dogs found in appalling conditions, with all but one locked in very small crates or pens. None of the pups had access to food or water.
They were kept in crates with old blankets as bedding, which were filthy and covered in urine and faeces. The dogs were rescued after a warrant was executed at an address in Cannock, Staffs, on Tuesday, June 6.
