The Sheriff's Office says when they tracked down the two suspects in the theft, Joel David Matson III tried to run away, but was arrested hiding in a shed.
Deputies found he and Amy Manka had stolen property including credit cards and jewelry, along with meth and drug paraphernalia.
The Sheriff's Office thinks the pair may have poisoned the dogs at the homes they burglarized, in order to keep the canines quiet during the crime.
All 4 dogs died following the crime.
Matson is charged with burglary and larceny, both he and Manka are facing charges of posession of meth, and additional charges are expected.
