Rhode Island SPCA rescues 11 dogs from Pawtucket home

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals rescued 11 dogs from a house in Pawtucket Tuesday.

According to the RISPCA, two calls were made over the weekend reporting concerns about the dogs’ care.

An ABC 6 News crew saw SPCA agents and police officers take blocky-headed dogs from a house on Don Court at about 1 p.m.

Officials said the owner of the dogs had the intention of illegally breeding the dogs in their garage.

Some agents evaluated a dog on the sidewalk as others continued to search the garage.

The dogs are currently being evaluated by the RISPCA and other agencies.
