The Arizona Humane Society is hoping a new haircut for a group of doodles seized from an alleged backyard breeder will help them find new homes through adoption.<\/p>\n
PHOENIX \u2014 The Arizona Humane Society is showing off some brand new haircuts for a group of doodles that are looking for a new home.<\/p>\n
The nonprofit organization shared before-and-after photos of the doodles in a Facebook post on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
They said the dogs were seized by police from a home in Phoenix in December after a Good Samaritan called to report an alleged backyard breeder.<\/p>\n
The Humane Society said that nine dogs were brought to them in need of care, while another three dogs were found dead at the home.<\/p>\n
“This case is a reminder that animal cruelty is a serious problem in Arizona and that backyard breeding is harmful and a major contributor to the severe pet overpopulation we are experiencing,” the Arizona Humane Society said in the Facebook post<\/a>.<\/p>\n Some of the dogs rescued from the alleged backyard breeder are already listed as up for adoption<\/a> on the Arizona Humane Society website.<\/p>\n The Humane Society said the former owner of the dogs is facing animal cruelty charges.<\/p>\n
