VALDOSTA, Ga.—Animal shelters from around Georgia were called in to help authorities rescue 630 dogs from a home in Valdosta.

News outlets report the shelters say the dogs were kept in small cages, and many of the animals rescued on March 2 had never been walked or held before. One shelter, Release Atlanta, calls it “an extreme hoarding puppy mill case.”
