The shelter is now tracking more than 50 potential hoarding properties throughout Pima County.<\/p>\n

PACC Director Steve Kozachik said the recent rescue was not on that list, but the case required quick action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were being kept in crates; they were living in their own feces; they were dying on the property,\u201d Kozachik said.<\/p>\n

Tracking potential cases<\/b><\/h3>\n

The list of more than 50 potential hoarding properties is managed by PACC\u2019s Animal Protection Services unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get reports from people all the time, generally neighbors, who say there\u2019s something sketchy going on at my neighbor\u2019s house, or you know, there\u2019s a weird smell going on; can you come out and investigate?\u201d Kozachik said.<\/p>\n

Investigators assess the home and the animals\u2019 living conditions, then make a plan to contact the homeowners. Kozachik said sometimes people know there\u2019s a problem and are open to accepting help. Other times, warrants are needed for PACC to rescue the animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ultimate goal is not to punish people if things simply get out of control, but to get the animals the care that they need and they deserve,\u201d Kozachik said.<\/p>\n
