Dozens of poop-covered Border Collies rescued from Florida house of horrors get fresh start at animal shelter: ‘Signs of joy and healing’

Dozens of feces-covered Border Collies rescued from a house of horrors are starting anew at a Florida animal shelter — where caretakers say the animals have already shown “signs of joy and healing.” “We’re seeing signs of joy and healing as the weight is literally lifted off their shoulders,” the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast wrote in a Facebook post on Friday, sharing photos of cheery, freshly groomed pups. “We’re so proud of their bravery and resilience and are loving every moment watching them learn how to be dogs again.” Local authorities recovered 36 dogs in total from the severely neglected home of Paige O’Donnell, an alleged hoarder and former American Kennel Club breeder, when deputies raided her Palm City home on Aug.

O’Donnell, 62, was arrested and charged with 36 felony counts of animal cruelty and 36 misdemeanor counts for failing to provide proper exercise or air, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. Detectives had placed O’Donnell under surveillance following a series of neighbor complaints, and authorities fear they may still find dead animals on the property.
