61 spaniels raced out of four sheds, their hair matted with feces and dirt and smelled of urine. The dogs' owners, Jack and Frances Stoltz, were charged with 61 misdemeanor counts of neglect.
Authorities took away nine dogs immediately for emergency cleaning. Found were four sheds set off from a well-kept home.
The heated sheds lacked ventilation, creating a noxious steam bath inside. There was no sawdust on the ground to absorb urine.
A Local Vet tipped of Authorities after visiting them. Authorities stated the hair on some was so matted they couldn't even walk.
The number of dogs did not violate local rules. For now, authorities allowed the Stoltzes to keep the other 52 dogs at their residence. Neighborhood MapFor more information about the Interactive Animal Cruelty Maps, see the map notes.
