17 Cats & Dogs Rescued from Suspected Hoarding Case in Michigan Need Urgent Medical Care

Over forty animals were rescued from a suspected hoarding situation at a northern Michigan property. Many animals were found in poor health from living in unsanitary conditions.

They are malnourished, covered in parasites and matted fur, suffering from upper respiratory infections, dental disease, and need urgent medical care.

Little Traverse Bay Humane Society assisted in the seizure and took seventeen animals in poor health to their shelter. Senior dog Diamond and kittens named Willy Billy and Leroy are just a few that are finally getting the care and space they need to heal.

The process to rehabilitate these animals will involve medical care and behavioral support after they have had time to decompress and learn to trust humans again.

Once the animals are healthy enough, they will be put up for adoption to find loving homes. Give these innocent animals a second chance to find love by donating towards their medical care.

Animal shelters are already overcrowded and an influx of sick, malnourished animals from a hoarding case stretches them to the limit. They are already struggling just to feed all the animals in their care. That is why along with our partner, Greater Good Charities, and your continued support, we can save more lives by covering the cost of emergency medical care.
