ZUNI -- Animal-rescue groups are caring for scores of dogs and horses seized from an Isle of Wight County farm.
The Virginia Beach SPCA is working with rescue groups to medically assess more than 70 dogs that were seized from the Zuni horse farm Jan. 19.
In the Richmond area, the United States Equine Rescue League is caring for 10 horses seized from the property. Fourteen others are being cared for in the Tidewater area.
The groups have their work cut out for them. According to the SPCA, more than half of the dogs that were seized have heartworm and the Equine Rescue League says the horses are either lame, emaciated or both.
No charges have been filed against the farm owners.
