HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Fifteen dogs were adopted from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay on Wednesday following a large hoarding bust of a Tampa breeding and grooming facility.

More than 300 dogs were rescued in September, and about a third of them were pregnant, according to Humane Society of Tampa Bay spokesperson Maria Matlack.
