Other animals recovered included parrots, tarantulas, a snake, a scorpion and a millipede.
38 dogs and a variety of other animals that were being kept in “inhumane living conditions” have been recovered by Gardaí.
As part of a multiagency operation, Gardaí in Tallaght – with the assistance of the Dog Warden from South Dublin County Council and the DSPCA – seized the animals following searches of two apartments in Citywest in Dublin on Wednesday (1 December).
“Over the course of the search, Gardaí recovered 38 dogs/puppies and other animals which were being kept in inhumane living conditions,” a Garda spokesperson said.
“Other animals recovered from the premises included cats, parrots, tarantulas, a snake, a scorpion and a millipede.”
The animals have been taken by the DSPCA for veterinary treatment.
Gardaí have said no arrests have been made at this time and the investigation is ongoing.
