A multiagency operation in Dublin has led to the rescue of almost 40 animals.

During the course of the search, 38 dogs/puppies and a variety of other animals were found kept in inhumane living conditions.

The other animals that were rescued included cats, parrots, tarantulas, a snake, a scorpion and a millipede.

The animals were removed and have been taken by the DSPCA for veterinary treatment.
