LEBANON, Tenn. – More than 100 dogs were rescued from a "hoarding situation" at a home in Lebanon.

Animal Rescue Corps said approximately 110 medium to large dogs were living in feces-laden pens with no doors on property in southeast Wilson County. The dogs only had dilapidated wooden boxes and rusted-through metal bins for housing, the organization said.

Spokesmen said the dogs had no shaded relief from recent hot temperatures, nor any clean water. One dog was found dead.

The rescued dogs suffered from a range of medical problems, such as mange, broken legs, bone disorders, conjunctivitis, and blindness resulting from their living conditions and the absence of daily care and medical attention.

Many of the dogs are not used to humans and shy because they have not received attention.All of the animals were surrendered to Wilson County Animal Control.

The Animal Rescue Corps said the situation started with eight unsterilized dogs two decades ago, and developed into the largest rescue in Wilson County.

The dogs were taken to an emergency shelter set up at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville, where the animals will be treated by veterinarians. ARC will provide daily care until they can be placed with shelters and rescue groups.

No arrests were immediately reported.
