SEAL BEACH — It’s a shaggy dog story. But instead of rambling along pointlessly, this tale comes to a happy conclusion – albeit after a harrowing start.
The Seal Beach Animal Care Center recently took in 15 filthy long-haired dogs ranging in age from, approximately, 2 to 7 years old. The mutts, which appear to be poodle mixes, had spent their entire lives practically piled on top of each other in a small outdoor enclosure, said Jane Parnes, lead volunteer at the shelter.
Parnes declined to say who rescued the dogs or where they were found. “They appear to be from several litters,” Parnes said.
