Investigators say a search of a building on the property resulted in the seizure of twelve dogs found housed in crates that were littered with feces and urine. Authorities say the conditions caused urine burns to the skin of some of the dogs. They also say the animals did not have access to food or water and at least one dog was severely underweight with untreated injures to all four feet which required emergency treatment.
