A serious case of animal hoarding was uncovered in Vienna: Until January, 18 dogs were living in a small apartment in Vienna-Simmering under partially extremely cramped and unhygienic conditions. The animals were "without medical care, many marked by fear and insecurity," it was stated in a communication from the animal shelter on Thursday. The dogs were subsequently confiscated by the authorities from the owner.
In the meantime, they have been cared for by veterinarians at the animal shelter, groomed, and underwent behavior training. "A long process began for our team: With a lot of patience, structure, and expertise, each individual dog was gently prepared for a new life," it was stated.
According to the animal shelter, this is a classic case of animal hoarding - the excessive keeping of animals without the ability to provide proper care. In the affected apartment, there were reportedly no signs of neutering, vaccinations, or training. Many animals were not chipped and reacted to human proximity with fear or overwhelm.
