More than 70 animals were found in a Pueblo West single-wide mobile home on Nov 21. Many were suffering, some were dead. The owner faces dozens of charges, including animal neglect.

Dogs, cats, turtles, birds and more were found inside the home on S. Walton Drive. Some were dead when authorities arrived, others have died since. Many were moved to the Pueblo Animal Shelter, increasing the animal population there by about a third.

Authorities declared the mobile home unsafe for humans. Owner Nancy Walcott says she would have gotten rid of the dead animals if she'd known they were there. Walcott says she's autistic and developmentally disabled. She says she lost track of caring for the animals, because she's been spending time with her husband who is hospitalized.
