Eight dogs were found dead in the garage while a family lived in the house. There was a definite foul smell and police found the reason was an absolute mess in the garage.

Owner Angie Gonzales was appalled to find decomposing dog carcasses and feces in the garage of the house she rents out. A woman and her children lived in the house. The owner and police have been unable to locate them.

Child Protective Services is now investigating the family. Animal Control removed the remains, and police are investigating. If they find the renter is in any way responsible for the animal deaths, she could face animal cruelty charges.
