A Colorado Springs animal shelter has disbanded a dog-hoarding situation after a tip-off, retrieving a total of 26 Chihuahuas from a single apartment in the area. The city’s regulations limit the number of pets per residence to just four dogs or cats.

Upon arrival at the home on Sept. 24, officers found the 30 small dogs living in crates in the apartment’s garage. Their owner had just been evicted.
