From neglect to love: Sebastian’s story

Local authorities in San Miguel, NM served a search and seizure warrant on a residential property at approximately 8 a.m. on March 14, 2022. The dogs were found living outdoors in crowded, filthy pens, some with no apparent access to food or water. We worked cautiously in freezing temperatures to avoid slipping on ice and other hazards such as broken glass, wires and other debris found throughout the areas the dogs were living in. The dogs were unaltered and apparently permitted to breed freely—veterinarians noted that several dogs were pregnant. One puppy was found dead in one of the pens as an adult dog, possibly the mother, paced and whined nearby. Some of the dogs hid behind pieces of plywood and in various makeshift structures, while others appeared curious and approached rescuers. Our responders focused on getting the animals out safely, working in teams through periodic snow showers in the afternoon to remove the dogs and puppies and transport them to a temporary shelter. We found that many of them were suffering from a variety of conditions including parasites, severe heart murmurs, eye injuries and wounds but having helped to remove them from their desperate situation, our responders can take heart, as we too can, in the fact that these dogs’ fortunes have already turned around. In so many ways, their troubles are behind them, with a far better future in sight. -- For over 70 years, we’ve been working to create a better world for animals. You’ve known us as the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International.
