ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. - More than 100 dogs were removed Wednesday from a home in Ross Township, making it the largest rescue on record for Animal Friends, officials said.

In all, 117 dogs were taken from the home on Ridgeside Road. Twenty-five of them were puppies and the rest were middle-aged.

Crews needed hazmat suits to enter the home because of high ammonia levels, officials said.

Firefighters cooled down dozens of dogs and loaded them on a box truck, which transported them to Animal Friends to receive care and get a second chance at life.

Officials said Thursday none of the dogs, most of which are Australian Shepherds and shepherd mixes, have died.

I really don’t understand why people do this. Thank heavens they were rescued in time.

First, let me say that this case, 117 dogs, is excessive, however, I know a family that became homeless, they had 4 dogs so they called around to try to get help. Every single place wanted $100 per dog. The man told them if he had that kind of money, he wouldn't be homeless. No one would help.
