The city of Sacramento's Animal Care Services seized nine live pit bulls and one dead dog Friday at an Oak Park home.

Rhea Serran, a public information officer for Animal Care Services, said Saturday that the occupants of a home at San Jose Way and Santa Rosa Avenue were cited for 13 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and neglect.

She didn't have the name of the people cited or information on the health of the seized animals.

Serran said the residence was in deplorable condition. The carcass of the one dog was found in an abandoned vehicle on the property.

Animal Care officers summoned police and code enforcement officers, who declared the house uninhabitable.
