Forty dogs rescued from squalid La Mesa apartment. ‘One of the worst hoarding situations.’

Forty dogs have been rescued after they were found living in squalid hoarding conditions in a La Mesa apartment earlier this week.

San Diego Humane Society officials said the dogs, many of them puppies, were found when police conducted a welfare check late Monday evening at the unit where the resident was facing eviction and hadn’t been seen in several days.
