Bradford Quick, Pennie Quick, Noralea Quick and Danielle Quick all are charged with five counts of cruelty or abandonment of 10 or more animals and one count of cruelty or abandonment of four to 10 animals.
They recently waived a probable cause hearing in Oscoda County District Court and have a Jan. 26 pretrial hearing in circuit court.
Oscoda County sheriff's officials did not specify the relationship between those charged, although address records show they all have lived at the East Miller Road residence affiliated with Bradford Quick.
Authorities in December seized more than 50 dogs from the Mio area home amid alleged unsanitary and overcrowded conditions.
The animals ranged in age from adult dogs to as young as four weeks.
Officials with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said they believed the home was a "puppy mill."
They said most the dogs were housed in the basement, where multiple dogs were placed together in small cages. There were also dogs in overcrowded pens and small wire cages in a shed.
