Rescuers Enter Dilapidated House And Find Over 100 Animals Living Inside
In 2024, RSPCA South Australia received troubling news about a nearby property where scores of animals were reportedly living in neglect. Worried investigators quickly headed to the scene, and once inside, their hearts dropped.
The rescuers found over 100 animals tucked in tight quarters among dust and debris. Cages and crates, many containing cats and dogs, were stacked haphazardly in the entryway. In the kitchen, puppies hid in cupboards and cowered on shelves.
“Dirt extended up walls and over benchtops, and heavy cobwebs hung from the ceilings,” RSPCA South Australia wrote in a press release.
Rescuers felt increasing shock as they walked through each room. There weren't just cats and dogs hiding among the clutter — there were birds, sheep and even a group of 11 kangaroos on the back patio.
Later, advocates returned to the property to help the rest of the group. They didn't stop until they'd rescued every animal, including the kangaroos, whom they safely relocated to more suitable homes.
“Of the 111 animals seized from this property, we rehomed 90 and transferred 16 (mainly native animals and birds) to other rescue organisations,” RSPCA South Australia Chief Inspector Andrew Baker said in the press release.
Making sure each animal ended up safe, happy and healthy wasn’t easy, but determined rescuers didn’t stop until the job was done.
“Given the fact that almost every animal required some degree of veterinary treatment, and in some cases significant treatment and rehabilitation, this was an incredible outcome for these animals after their rescue from this house of horrors,” Baker said.
