‘Horrific scene’: 117 dead dogs, many with gunshot wounds found at ‘no-kill’ animal rescue shelter
The sheriff’s office searched the grounds and buildings associated with the animal rescue and founder Shannon Miranda for evidence related to animal cruelty and fraud.

Examinations conducted on site by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and forensic veterinarians preliminarily determined that gunshot wounds were the cause of death for many of those dogs.

“This investigation is just getting started. There is a tremendous amount of data to process, witnesses to interview, and evidence to examine,” Sheriff William F. Honsal said in a statement. “The determination all of these professionals showed while working through this horrific scene is something we will not forget,” he added.
