Lansing: 36 dogs in a van

In Lansing, Michigan, 36 dogs, including puppies and pregnant females, were kept in a dilapidated minivan with their owner, who moved from place to place after arriving from Florida. On May 22, 2026, investigators and the Capital Area Humane Society intervened when the owner tried to sell puppies. 10 puppies were seized; one dog gave birth within an hour of arriving at the shelter, another gave birth later. The remaining animals stayed with the owner due to lack of cruelty evidence, but all are vaccinated. Adoption of the surrendered dogs is on hold.
