More than 60 dogs arrived in Colorado Springs Friday after being rescued from puppy mills all across the Midwest.

A lot of the dogs are in pretty bad shape, most have lived in cages their entire lives and some have never even seen the sunlight until now. They are all in desperate need of vet care, but most of all they just need a lot of love.

Friday afternoon a handful of volunteers had a first chance to see the dogs; there are all sorts of different breeds of both big dogs and small dogs. Many of them will be available for adoption once they are determined to be in good health. Until then, they will be placed with foster families.

There were volunteers that were close to tears seeing the condition that many of these dogs are in, an example they say of what life in a puppy mill can do.
