One week ago, the Licking County Humane Society rescued 80 dogs from an Ohio home; making it the largest rescue endeavor in the history of the shelter. All of the dogs including one human had been living in a condemned home.
According to the Newark Advocate, Lori Carlson, the Licking County Humane Society’s executive director, stated it had started with a probation officer arriving at the home after someone in the home had removed “their court-ordered ankle monitor.” Upon seeing all of the dogs and the conditions they had been living in, the officer called the county dog warden who then notified the Licking County Humane Society.
Many of these dogs are in need of medical treatment (one even came to us with a plastic o-ring around its neck) and are not yet available for adoption.
#LCHSpets will provide housing, food, and water for all of these dogs and will care for medical needs such as spay/neuter surgery, dental cleaning, and other veterinary procedures. We will also fully vaccinate and complete behavioral assessment/training with all of them to prepare them for adoption.
Today is the start of a LONG process for these dear souls…but also the start of a new life. A life that will now be full of love, care, attention, and safety.

When authorities arrived, they had expected 30 dogs living on the premises, but after several hours of removing the animals, nearly 80 dogs and puppies were discovered in all areas of the home.
The ages of the dogs range from a few weeks to adult. They were all infested with fleas and are receiving veterinary care and needed vaccinations. The organization intends to care for the dogs until they are all adopted.
