More than 70 puppies and dogs are recovering at local animal shelters after being rescued Friday from cramped, feces-infested environments in Norman and Oklahoma City, officials said.
The animals were seized, and the owner was arrested on animal cruelty complaints after an undercover investigation by Norman police. The animals, which included Maltese, Chihuahuas and Yorkies, are receiving care and medical attention at the Norman and Oklahoma City Animal Shelters.
Animal welfare officials said Aurelia Snow, the dogs’ owner, was breeding the dogs at a building she leased behind a home at 18617 SE 134 in Oklahoma City and selling the puppies on the Internet from her home at 13780 Mesquite Road in Norman.
Animal welfare officers pulled 51 dogs, ages 7 and older, from the mill in Oklahoma City, and removed 27 dogs and puppies from the home in Norman.
