Following the death of a person who owned a large number of animals, gendarmes were the first to arrive at the scene and found the animals completely abandoned. The house was in extremely poor sanitary conditions, with dogs and cats living in deplorable circumstances. The gendarmes contacted Le Cœur sur la patte 85, a local animal rescue association, to help with the situation. Upon arrival, rescuers discovered that the animals were living in a shed and an unsanitary house filled with feces, creating an unbearable smell. Some animals were confined to rabbit hutches with no light, and the conditions were described by the rescuers on their Facebook page as "Hell exists." In total, the rescuers saved approximately 70 dogs and 20 cats. Many of the animals were in very poor health, suffering from malnutrition, illness, injuries, and parasites. Some dogs could walk only on three legs, and many cats had severe eye problems. The situation was described as a "vital emergency," prompting Le Cœur sur la patte 85 to seek assistance from the SPA, a national animal welfare organization. The SPA immediately took in several of the most critically ill animals and is planning to transfer more to other SPA shelters across France. The rescuers expressed concern for the animals' psychological well-being, noting that some are deeply afraid of humans and remain wary of interaction. Le Cœur sur la patte 85 is now calling for public donations to help provide proper care for the animals and ensure they can recover and live in a safe, gentle environment. The organization hopes to give them a future far removed from the horror they endured in their previous living conditions.
