“This was one of the worst cases I have seen in my 23 years of working at Adopt-A-Pet,” the shelter said in a Facebook post.

According to the shelter, all dogs are doing great because they have clean living conditions, fresh food and water every day, soft beds and blankets, toys and love. The shelter reported that they had all gained weight and their anemia had resolved.

The shelter said some dogs are still on the road to recovery and some have already been adopted into their forever homes.
