Authorities seize over two dozen dogs from San Francisco home
SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco Animal Control officers and deputies with the sheriff's department were seen taking an estimated 30 dogs out of a home Wednesday morning.
The seizure happened at a home on Olmstead Street near McLaren Park and the 101/280 interchange not far from Visitation Valley.
SF Animal Control said they were called out after neighbors complained about the noise and smells coming from the home.
The resident said she didn't intend to have so many animals, but the dogs kept having puppies and it got away from her. She claimed she was working to re-house the animals herself.
"I just started with two and they just kept having babies," she said. "You know, they multiply so fast. I don't know if they're going to charge me to get my dogs back. I want some of them back."
The San Francisco Department of Animal Care and Control said this is an ongoing criminal investigation.
All of the dogs are in their protective custody and being examined by shelter veterinarians.
They added that none of the dogs are currently available for adoption.
