An investigation by humane officers lead to the discovery of several mistreated dogs living at an abandoned home. Two humane officers from The Michigan Humane Society headed over to the home where they believed dogs were being bred and used as bait dogs in dog fighting.
On previous visits they did not find anything, but this time they discovered five dogs to rescue! One dog looks very young, another looks like she recently gave birth to puppies and yet another looks like he has bite wounds on him.
