Tortured dogs rescued by police from NYC apartment nursed back to health – NY Post

More than a half-dozen tortured, starving dogs saved by cops from a Bronx apartment building last summer – and a litter of pups born in the aftermath – were nursed back to health by rescuers at a new upstate rehab center for abused pooches, The Post has learned.
The family of nine “terrier-types” were rescued by cops from a decrepit apartment in the Belmont section of the Bronx after responding to neighbors’ frantic calls for help last August – and found the underweight animals lacked access to food, water and even fresh air.
“The dogs were found to have dirty, foul-smelling hair coats and were experiencing dehydration, inflammation of the paw pads, and conjunctivitis,” a rep for the ASPCA detailed.
