A local dog rescue is working to save hundreds of dogs that are in dire conditions at a shelter in Mexico. Animal Pad Rescue says Wednesday's emergency rescue in Ensenada has been years in the making. They expected to find around 300 dogs but found at least 400. Many of them need extensive medical care. "Malnourished, really awful conditions, really sad conditions," said Michelle May, co-director of events at Animal Pad. Animal Pad Rescue, based in La Mesa, used to work with the shelter but that relationship ended a few years ago. "Sadly we felt like we were abandoning the dogs there but no matter how much we would help, due to the owners greed, nothing was making a difference," said Julie Brow, co-director of events at Animal Pad. Their worst fears came to life when they arrived at the shelter and saw the conditions.
