TALLAHASSEE, Fla (WCTV) -- Almost 90 dogs and cats now rehabbing after they're rescued in Washington County this week.

68 dogs and 19 cats of all ages infested with fleas and left in declining health after their owner, a former Great Pyrenees breeder, passed away.

Several rescue organizations and shelters saving the animals from a house in Vernon, Florida - less than 100 miles from Tallahassee.

1. I've forwarded this to my Great Pyrenees groups

I already have two, or I'd be there. Thanks for posting.

2. If I thought I could deal with a large dog I'd check into it

But I put my last dog to sleep in 1999 and he was only medium sized. These days dealing with my aged cat is hard for me.

I hope they can find good homes for all the animals!
