Animal Friends posted the update Monday on its Facebook page, adding that another 15 of the dogs "have been transferred to trusted breed rescue organizations so they can continue to get specialized, one-on-one attention."

The dogs ended up at Animal Friends after they were rescued from the deplorable hoarding situation at the home. Officials said conditions in the home were so bad crews needed to wear hazmat suits because of high ammonia levels.
