Seven bulldog dogs rescued from an alleged illegal breeding facility in Engativá

Seven bulldogs were rescued from a suspected illegal breeding facility in the neighborhood of Florida Blanca, located in the locality of Engativá, Bogotá. The operation was conducted by the Carabineros Police in coordination with the District Institute for Animal Protection and Wellbeing (IDPYBA) and professionals from PIVA. During the inspection, veterinary doctors evaluated the dogs' condition using the five domains of animal welfare and found serious deficiencies, including inadequate access to water and food, unsanitary resting areas, poor hygiene, and lack of veterinary care records. The animals exhibited high levels of anxiety. Based on this assessment, the police took preventive custody of the seven dogs to transfer them to specialized care centers for medical evaluation and behavioral treatment. Authorities have initiated legal proceedings against those responsible for the property, and calls have been made for citizens to report any illegal breeding operations or animal cruelty.

Nine dogs were rescued from a suspected illegal breeding facility in the neighborhood of Mandalay, located in the locality of Kennedy, Bogotá, following a citizen complaint about alleged abandonment and poor living conditions. The operation was conducted by the Bogotá Police Department alongside the District Institute for Animal Protection and Wellbeing (IDPYBA). According to authorities, the intervention occurred after reports indicated several animals had been abandoned and one had previously died from an apparent accident. Residents of the property reportedly collected and disposed of the deceased dog before officials arrived to assess the situation of the remaining animals. During the initial inspection, veterinary professionals from IDPYBA identified multiple issues affecting the wellbeing of the nine Pinschers. None of the dogs had documentation proving medical care or vaccinations. Additionally, the animals were confined to a restricted area within the home and lived under inadequate shelter conditions. Two female dogs were found pregnant, requiring further veterinary attention. Based on these findings, IDPYBA issued an unfavorable assessment regarding the conditions in which the animals were kept, leading to their preventive seizure by police. The nine rescued dogs are currently under the care of IDPYBA while administrative procedures continue to clarify the circumstances surrounding their condition. Evidence gathered during the operation will be submitted to the relevant inspection authority, which will proceed with legal actions against those responsible for the animals' welfare. Authorities have not yet announced plans for potential adoption of the dogs, emphasizing that their care and protection remain the responsibility of the institution until the administrative process concludes. In another related incident, seven Bulldogs were rescued from a suspected illegal breeding facility in the locality of Engativá. The operation took place in the Florida Blanca neighborhood and was led by the Carabineros Police in collaboration with IDPYBA technical teams and professionals from PIVA. During the inspection, veterinary experts evaluated the dogs using the five domains of animal welfare protocol and detected severe deficiencies in water and food supply, unsanitary resting areas, deep cleanliness shortcomings, and lack of records on veterinary check-ups. The veterinary team issued an unfavorable assessment due to insufficient access to water and food, absence of medical care, and high levels of anxiety among the animals. Based on this technical evaluation, Carabineros officers carried out the preventive seizure of the seven dogs to transport them to specialized care centers where they would receive comprehensive medical evaluation and behavioral treatment. The dogs were placed under the custody of competent authorities pending further investigation. Officials emphasized the administration’s commitment to dismantling networks of unregulated breeding and commercialization. The case has been brought to judicial authorities to determine appropriate sanctions against those responsible for the property. Animal protection entities reiterated calls for citizens to report any illegal breeding operations or mistreatment that threatens the dignity and life of animals in the capital.
