Shoshone Pet Rescue received a call from a person who said they were a friend of the evicted person in Kellogg, KREM-TV reported.
“I’ve never seen anything like that in 20 years as a police officer,” Twidt told the newspaper.
Vicky Nelson, development director of Kootenai Humane Society, said it was the largest number of animals they had ever taken in at once.
The owner of the house was evicted on Thursday, and the officer that served her told Jeffrey that he didn’t hear any dogs barking, KREM reported.
One had already died and another had to be euthanized following a fight with another dog.
The dogs range in age from 3 weeks old to 8 years old, KXLY reported.
Once the dogs have been examined by veterinarians, they will be put up for adoption on the humane society’s website this week, KXLY reported.
