Lee County Deputies and Investigators responded to the scene and located approximately 29 deceased dogs that had been placed in plastic bags and thrown in a pile in the back yard of the residence. The deceased animals ranged from puppies to adult dogs.
Investigators located approximately 24 additional dogs inside the residence that were alive but appeared to be emaciated. Lee County Animal Control responded and took possession of the live animals.
