A woman and her son are facing animal cruelty charges after dozens of animals were seized from their Redford Township home last month.
Patricia Wenderski and Eric Wenderski were arraigned in 17th District Court today, according to the Detroit Free Press and WDIV. The Freep says the woman's daughter, who reportedly shared the same home, has not been charged.
Officers went to the Wenderskis' home on Aug. 4 after being tipped off by concerned neighbors. One person reportedly complained of a urine odor coming from the house.
Animal control officers found more than 30 dogs on the first floor of the home. Authorities also discovered nine cats on the loose and around half a dozen rabbits in the garage, one of which was dead.
Redford officials are working to demolish the Wenderskis' house, according to WDIV and the Freep.
