Sharon Lohman, founder and president of New Beginnings for Merced County Animals, said she first learned of the situation after receiving an alert email from Stanislaus County's animal services. The email reported 30 to 50 dogs in need of rescue.
Lohman has returned to the property for three days, removing dogs in waves with a team of volunteers. Although New Beginnings rarely takes animals from outside Merced County, Lohman said the Modesto homeowner was overwhelmed and attempting to do the right thing. The organization has so far taken in 26 dogs, while other rescues have taken several more.
"Every single one of them needs full dentals," Lohman said. "They have rotted teeth. We don't think they've ever eaten dog food."
More calls came in soon after Lohman's group posted online, asking for fosters. Residents in Ceres and Stockton reported additional hoarding situations. Volunteers visited one of the homes and removed several more dogs, but Lohman said New Beginnings is focusing on the Modesto property because conditions there were urgent and unstable.
"We've already seen some of the first ones we took sleeping in bed with their fosters," she said. "But these dogs are more afraid. They're going to take time."
