30 dogs saved near Skegness
They were found in a neglected state in kennels
30 dogs have been saved after they were found in a neglected state in kennels outside a property in the Skegness area.
The RSPCA says some of the dogs fur was so matted their breeds were unrecognisable and many were covered in their own mess.
Some even needed emergency dental work to enable them to eat properly.
The dogs were all cross-breeds and included Dachshunds, Yorkshire Terriers, Toy Poodles and German Shepherd types.
They were taken by rescuers for immediate veterinary attention where many were so badly matted they had to have their fur shaved off.
Ella Carpenter, manager at RSPCA Radcliffe Animal Centre, said:, “Clearly the dogs had been neglected for a significant amount of time and required their coats to be completely shaved and urgent dentals to be carried out".
"They were unrecognisable as to their breeds".
“One dog was in such a state it reduced rescue staff to tears".
“Thankfully, dematting and removing the vast majority of their overgrown fur has already given the dogs a new lease of life".
“They are now able to move freely without experiencing the pain of those heavy matts".
“We will continue to regularly bathe them to help improve their skin condition and we will spend the coming weeks rehabilitating them and will give them lots of care and attention so when we are ready to re-home the dogs we can match them with a perfect future owner".
