A homeless family was found living in a makeshift Arizona campground with 150 dogs that were well cared for, according to officials.
Elli Smith, the founder of the Sky Sanctuary Rescue in Phoenix, got a call last week about an emergency situation in the Northwest Valley. A family living in the desert on state land with 150 dogs was being forced to leave and needed help with their animals.
The dogs and their owners had been living there for almost a year, enduring the extreme heat and monsoon storms. However, when the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and animal rescue crews arrived, the dogs surprisingly appeared to be in pretty good condition. Sky Sanctuary Rescue took in 55 of the dogs to receive the medical care they needed, with plans to then have them all adopted. The number of dogs that arrived was about five times more than what the rescue usually brings in at one time.“That day was hard, but this is where the real work starts,” Smith said. “Now, we have to get vetting for the animals, find fosters for all the animals. We have to have supplies to take care of all these animals until they get homes.
