The remains of at least 117 dogs, many showing possible gunshot wounds, were found last week at a self-described “no-kill” rescue facility in California, officials said Monday, along with other disturbing discoveries.
Nearly 900 dogs were transferred to Miranda’s Rescue Animal Sanctuary in Fortuna, operated by Shannon Miranda, since January 2025, but only 116 adoptions have been confirmed, leaving more than 700 animals unaccounted for, Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said during a news conference Monday updating the public on the animal cruelty and fraud investigation.
