The RSPCA (the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) has appealed to find homes for 269 animals the charity found packed into a three-bedroom home.

Following anonymous information about a middle-aged couple living in Carnforth, Lancashire, officials raided their home last month. They rescued 244 dogs, 16 parrots, 7 cats, a rabbit and a chinchilla in the RSPCA’s largest-ever operation to free illegally kept animals. The animals were taken to shelters across the country, where they have been health checked, microchipped and made ready for new homes. The charity has set up a special hotline – 08705 900950 – for people interested in adopting one of the animals. Lines will be open 24 hours and will remain open until homes have been found for all the rescued animals.

One of the RSPCA’s directors, Dominic Rudd, said: „These animals have come into our care through no fault of their own and we will do all we can to match them with suitable owners so they can go on to enjoy happy lives.” Among the dogs rescued were shih-tzus, dachshunds, lhasa apsos, bearded collies, corgis and Yorkshire terriers. The birds included a macaw, Amazonian parrot and an African Grey.
