    The owner of dozens of pit bulls that authorities said were left unattended outside in the frigid weather was arrested Feb 9 on animal cruelty charges.

    Gonzalo Montesdeoca, 42, is facing 37 counts of animal cruelty as well as dozens of counts of failure to vaccinate and license a dog.

    Acting on a tip, police and animal control officers seized 37 dogs from the property on Feb 7.

    Most of the dogs were in stacked cages in a shed or left outside. Authorities suspect the property was operating as an unlicensed breeding operation.

    The dogs were examined by local veterinarians for signs of abuse and then sent to several animal shelters in the area.

    Montesdeoca was released on a $100,000 bond and is due in New Haven Superior Court on Feb. 21.
