There are few things more popular on social media than pictures of cute animals - especially rescued ones.

But state police are not pleased that photos of a particular group of dogs from Carbon County have gone viral over the past week.Troopers, assisted by five local animal rescues, took 53 Yorkshire terriers from a property in East Penn Township last week.The property owner has not yet been charged, but one of the woman's relatives maintained that the dogs were not deprived of food, and received veterinary care when they needed it.Ever since the first pictures of the dogs hit social media the day after the rescue, they have been shared dozens of times and attracted countless comments from animal lovers.Now shelter workers say that state police have prohibited them from talking about the dogs with the press. But they have provided some updates through social media.According to Gloria Sheetz of Starting Over Animal Rescue, there has been a marked change in the seven dogs that she took in, which she dubbed "the magnificent seven."Camp Papillon, located in Hamilton Township, Monroe County, has posted pictures of the dogs they fostered. They said volunteers worked through most of the night after the dogs were brought in to groom the dogs.Mebbie Van Orman, vice president of Camp Papillon, said that they are prevented from commenting on the dogs. However, she said that they have received treatment from a veterinarian.They posted pictures of dogs being clipped and examined by Dr. Samantha Thompson of Pocono Peak Veterinary Center."You can see the totality of neglect that these little Yorkshire terriers went through. Dr. Sammie's hands are blessed by God. Thank you to Pocono Peak and their entire staff for dropping everything yesterday to take care of 13 Yorkshire terriers who needed medical attention immediately," they posted the day after the rescue."When they came, they were just shy, they would go into a cocoon. When I saw them, I wanted to cry," Sheetz said.Since then, the seven have been groomed, vaccinated and treated for several conditions. They were seen by Dr. Lori Milot of Rush Township Veterinary Center."Now they're like 'we feel so much better,'" Sheetz said. "No more fleas, no more bugs."But the dogs still have a long road physically and emotionally. She said based on the way they react to the outdoors, they had limited exposure to the outside world.Sheetz said that finding a home for the dogs will not be a problem. But at this time, they are not up for adoption.She said that she has been instructed that the dogs will be staying with her until the case is complete. That could be months from now."With a little tender loving care they'll be OK," she said. "Once they learn that the outside is to go outside."
