It's not true that everyone who "rescues" animals is doing what's best for the animals. There are serious psychological issues when someone rescues more than they can realistically afford to care for. The woman in this story turned the corner from rescuer to hoarder, and now she's facing serious charges for animal abuse.
How can we get a handle on this phenomenon? http://www.10news.com/news/24121168/detail.html
"EL CAJON, Calif. -- Dozens of dogs taken from the home of a Lakeside woman charged with failing to properly care for the canines can be given away, a judge ruled Friday.
In March, animal control officers found 63 dogs -- mostly boxers, Chihuahuas and a few small terriers -- in dirty cages stacked throughout 65-year-old Alice Via's two-bedroom, 750-square-foot home on Moreno Avenue, said Dan DeSousa of San Diego County Animal Services."
