The dogs were "well fed" and "well taken care of," despite the family's limited resources, a representative from the local shelter said.A homeless family was found living in the Arizona desert with about 150 animals, Sgt. Calbert Gillett of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to TODAY on Friday night in a press release.
Elli Smith, the founder of the Sky Sanctuary Rescue in Phoenix, told TODAY over the phone that the family contacted them on their social media asking for help. “I will say the dogs were all very well fed and, within the limited resources, very well taken care of,” she said, noting that there were a lot of older dogs, some with minor medical issues and three moms with newborn puppies. “I ended up leaving the first night with 22 dogs.”
Additionally, Gillet noted that the shelter"was not working in any official capacity with the MASH unit or MCSO." MCSO, on their end, took in 93 dogs and nine cats.
