Rockville, Maryland - More than 60 dogs were seized Friday
evening from a home in Rockville after Montgomery County animal service
officers found the dogs living in unfit conditions.
Officers seized a total of 66 dogs from the home, some of
which were in need of immediate medical attention.
According to animal services, officers were called to the
home Thursday evening while investigating a dog bite case. While there, the
officers made several notes about the property and suspected a large number of
animals lived inside the home.
The homeowner was also uncooperative with officers and did
not aid them in locating the dog involved in the bite case, animal services
said.
The dogs were found to be in varying medical and behavioral
conditions and additional examinations will be conducted.
An investigation is pending and the lead investigator for
animal services said the case is "complex due to its size."
The dogs are currently being cared for by animal services.
Jill Asman lives two houses down from the suspect. She
said, “I could hear the dogs barking at night when everything else was quiet,
but I had no idea it was that many dogs.”
