120 dogs removed from Rochester home in hoarding case. Fosters, donations needed
Authorities rescued 120 dogs from a home on Leopard Street on Tuesday, and now the Humane Society of Greater Rochester is looking for emergency foster homes and other assistance.
The animals were removed after a hoarding investigation, according to Lollypop Farm Humane Law Enforcement, who executed the warrant, with help from the Animal Emergency Response Team.

The investigation is ongoing and no charges were immediately announced.
