This news is just in from Anjo, about a dog pound with some 80 dogs in it, where just one person is the director/worker/etc.

You can see the state the place is in, the photos were taken by 3 girls who went to this perrera to adopt a dog.

They found a dog there which was being eaten by other dogs, and they bravely got it out to the vet, where it was euthenased.

They also found the rotting remains of a dog in the dustbin. Dogs were there without food or water.

Inside the shelter are more dogs, without any daylight. The place does not seem to be cleaned more than once a week, or even less.
