Eleven dogs and two cats were rescued from an abandoned apartment in Vista earlier this week after San Diego Humane Society officers found the animals living in what officials described as hoarding-like conditions.<\/p>\n

The rescue, carried out over four days beginning Oct. 1, followed a call from the apartment\u2019s landlord, who had not seen the tenant for several weeks. Humane Law Enforcement officers, with support from the San Diego County Sheriff\u2019s Department, entered the two-bedroom unit and discovered the dogs navigating tunnels they had created among piles of trash and household items stacked from floor to ceiling. Many of the animals were hiding under beds and furniture, making the operation particularly challenging.<\/p>\n

The small dogs, including Pomeranians and Chihuahuas, were reportedly frightened and in poor condition, suffering from fleas, skin problems, and overgrown nails.<\/p>\n

The rescued animals were transported to the Humane Society\u2019s Oceanside Campus, where they are receiving medical care and have been placed under Emergency Boarding. Officers said they are continuing to investigate the situation and are using traps and cameras to ensure no animals remain in the apartment.<\/p>\n
