A disturbing discovery was made at an animal sanctuary in California. Authorities found at least 117 dead dogs on the property of Miranda's Rescue Animal Sanctuary in Fortuna. The dogs were in various stages of decomposition and were found in buildings and on the grounds.

The Humboldt Sheriff's Office obtained a search warrant to investigate evidence of fraud and animal cruelty. As part of the search, officials excavated fields and found mass graves containing the remains of dogs. Additional evidence, including canine skulls and bones, was also discovered.

Further details about the investigation are available from the Humboldt Sheriff's Office. The incident is a shocking revelation about the conditions at a facility that claimed to be a "no-kill" shelter.
