Woman Running Errands Spots 7 Dogs Crammed Together In Tiny Cage

“I knew I had to do something, anything.”


A woman named Stephanie Castillo was recently running errands in Chino Hills, California, when she came across a heartbreaking sight. Outside Priceless Pet Rescue, someone had dumped seven dogs — all crammed into one tiny cage.

“My stomach immediately sank,” Castillo told The Dodo. “I knew I had to do something, anything.”




Castillo had no idea where the dogs had come from. She decided to call the rescue to let them know about the pups who’d been left outside their building. Unfortunately, though, they were closed all day. Given the state they were in, Castillo knew the dogs couldn’t just stay there until the shelter opened.

“It seemed like [they’d been] there for a while because they were sitting in their own filth and panting … I also noticed there was a blind senior dog that was in really bad shape,” Castillo said.


Determined to get the dogs some help, Castillo then called her local humane society, who said it might take hours for them to arrive.

“It would only get hotter as the day went on,” Castillo said. “So I opted to take them in myself.”

Once Castillo got home with all seven dogs, she let them out of the cage and gave them the care they urgently needed. They were all starving, parched and terrified.


They … looked like they had been through a lot,” Castillo said.

Before long, the humane society came to take the dogs and gave them the vet care and vaccines they needed. The humane society then transferred them to Priceless Pet Rescue's Costa Mesa location.

  Stray Cat Walks Up To Stranger's Porch And Falls Instantly In Love "[H]e sat down next to me on the porch step and climbed in my lap.” It was a brisk October afternoon when Marissa Eller decided to sit on her front porch for a few minutes. She expected to have some quiet time, assuming she was  alone , but someone secretly  lurked  in the distance. Moments later, a tabby cat with white paws appeared on her driveway. Eller recognized the cat, whom her family had seen roaming around the neighborhood. They initially thought he was part of a known stray colony in the woods, but his behavior when he showed up at her house that day suggested otherwise.

  Video Shows Puppy When He First Arrived At Shelter — And 432 Days Later [Y]ou could tell how sad he was." Spinach came to Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) as a puppy with a ruptured eye, and if they hadn’t taken him, he would have been put down. Once his eye was removed, the sweet puppy felt so much better, and his new friends hoped he would be adopted very soon. Unfortunately, over 432 days later, Spinach was still waiting for a home.-  Tiktok- link “When he was in the playgroup, he was happy and joyful because he loved to play with other dogs,” Frankie Helfey, an APA! volunteer, told The Dodo. “Then you would see him in his kennel, and it was heartbreaking because you could tell how sad he was. It had been a few months since he was not eating as much, he was losing weight, and we started getting creative … Every week, we would change [things] up so he would eat. For the last two months, I gave him 2-4 bowls of food just to see what he would eat.” Everyone knew they needed to get ...
