ROANOKE, Va. – The Bedford County Animal Shelter took in 26 dogs after an animal cruelty and hoarding case in the Goodview area Tuesday.

The shelter was already full prior to the case, so there was no space for these dogs. Angels of Assisi in Roanoke was one of the animal rescue facilities stepping up to help take in other animals from the Bedford County Animal Shelter.
