MOBILE, Ala. - The newly opened Mobile City Animal Shelter received a huge shipment of puppies and dogs Wednesday night. That's because a couple had over 80 canines in their two-bedroom home.
The city shelter took in 38 of the 82 dogs found in Robert Dees and Ouida Curtis' home on Sans Souci Road. The county shelter took in over 40 dogs to help out the city.
It took four truckloads and several hours to get the dogs out of the home.
Also, every one of the dogs were in good health. Officials at the city shelter were surprised at how well-taken care of the animals were.
The animals were discovered when the city conducted a "street sweep". That's when they go door-to-door checking on pet's conditions and making sure animals are up to date on shots.
Dees and Curtis have been charged with animal cruelty. They're also facing charges for stealing water and electricity.
Some of the dogs have already been adopted out. If you're interested in adopting one of these dogs, tune in to FOX10 News at 5:00 p.m. April Douglas will have that information for you.
