Several Dogs Found in Filthy Truck in Norcross

Nineteen dogs were found sitting and walking in their own feces with no food or water inside a cramped U-Haul truck at a hotel off Jimmy Carter Boulevard in Norcross earlier this month.

According to the Norcross Police report, police reported to a call about the animal cruelty at Drury Inn around 9:05 a.m. Feb. 10.

The Norcross officer located the truck and immediately heard animals crying. After peeking through the window, the officer didn't believe there was any working ventilation inside, so he opened the back side of the truck to make sure the animals weren't in any danger.

Once he opened the door, he saw the dogs inside 12 crates in their own filth.

A woman approached the officer shortly after and identified herself as the owner of the truck and canines. After animal control arrived, the owner told both agencies that she runs an animal adoption business and had been staying at the hotel for the past few days.
