According to the officers, the dogs were found in a filthy basement. The floors were covered with feces and the dogs, two male Pit bull mixes, didn’t have access too food or water.

It is believed the dogs had been locked in the basement for weeks. The hero men gave the dogs water and then transported them to a vet clinic. The KC Pet Project is caring for the dogs and nursing them back to health.

Both dogs are expected to make a full recovery and rescuers hope they soon find loving forever homes.
