In what seems to be a recurring issue across the nation, yet another dog "rescue" organization has been busted for issues involving neglect and abuse.
According to Friday's WPVI News, after several complaints were made to the mayor, officials in Marcus Hook, Pa., raided a woman's home and seized upwards of 30 dogs.
The woman, Terry Silva, who is a lawyer, is said to operate the Sixth Angels Shepherd Rescue Inc.
The information on the rescue organization's website states that the agency is a non–profit corporation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
According to the news publication, the "rescue" is not licensed or certified by the state.
The Pennsylvania SPCA describes the woman running the fake rescue as a hoarder, and they allege that she has a history of hoarding.
Officials who worked to remove the dogs from the building, located on West 10th Street, describe filthy conditions - so much so that after the animals were removed, the unit was condemned.
