The Humane Society International showed up to a hoarding situation in Costa Rica where eight Poodles were kept in tiny cages around the clock. They were living in the worst conditions imaginable while locked up 24-hours a day.

It all changed on this day for these dogs as HSI Latin America and SENASA pulled them from their crates and rescued them from this abuse and neglect. They would be taken to safety and prepared for the next chapter of their lives.

Now, the Poodles are safe and sound and enjoying freedom doing the little things they never knew in life. Watch as they get to run around in the grass for the very first time! They’re living it up as they await their forever homes.
