From Louisville, Ky.: Charges have been filed against a couple in connection with the neglect of a large number of dogs. The dogs, ranging in size and breed, were found living among trash and in cages. Many were dehydrated, had internal parasites, and were malnourished, while one had a broken leg.

The couple claimed the dogs were left behind by a deceased relative. The investigation was initiated after a nonprofit organization alerted authorities to the situation.

Further details about the case are available, including the distribution of the rescued dogs to shelters in multiple states.
