Hundreds of pets rescued in Lake Hughes hoarding crackdown
TL;DR
LA County’s Animal Care and Control, aided by 70-plus workers and other rescues, rescued more than 300 dogs and cats from a Lake Hughes home — about 250 dogs and 66 cats confirmed — in what officials called one of the county’s largest animal rescues. The operation strained seven county centers, and authorities are urging the public to adopt or foster while investigators probe neglect and overcrowding; animals are being medically screened and redistributed to shelters and rescue groups.
