In one of the most severe cases of animal hoarding ever encountered by the Bedfordview and Germiston SPCA, 43 Maltese terriers were confiscated from a house in Sunnyridge, on June 7.
Trainee inspector Thabang Mabaso received a complaint of overcrowding and dogs not being cared for adequately at a home in Sunnyridge.
He managed to make contact with the owner and arranged to get access to the house on June 6.
Upon his arrival, Mabaso was shocked to find a large number of Maltese terriers living inside the house.
The floors of the home were covered in dog waste, in some cases centimetres deep and Mabaso immediately issued a 24-hour warning to the owner to clean up the house.
