FLORIDA -- Officers from the city's Animal Control took 37 dogs from a home in the 100 block of Southeast 28th Avenue on Saturday morning, after police served a search warrant on the house and found the dogs living in inadequate cages filled with urine and feces, and infested by rats.
The warrant was issued after a Nov. 30 incident in which someone called police, claiming that Marta Pejouhy, owner of the house, was seen walking a neighbor's dog that had been reported missing, according to Boynton Beach police.
Officers were unable to find that dog but did find about 30 other dogs living in wretched conditions at the home, police said.
Animal control is trying to get custody of the dogs, and if custody is granted, may put the dogs up for adoption.
