They were discovered Saturday at property on Maxwell Drive in Fletcher after authorities got a call from someone concerned about their welfare. The caller told authorities a family had moved and left the animals.
Two deceased animals were found.
The animals were discovered in two campers, an outbuilding and a home on the property, Stout said. Some were “running loose” and others were in cages.
The owner CLAIMED to authorities that 'someone' had been checking on the animals. But Stout said it did not appear they were getting proper care.
A number of the animals were living in "incredibly appalling conditions," according to officials. “It was absolutely horrific the conditions that those animals were living in,” Stout said.
So far, no charges have YET been filed against Sandy Jean Fore (aka Jeannie Fore, Jeannie Hughes), 56, or her husband Robert Bryan Fore (aka Bob Fore, Tommy Fore), 60.
“This is an ongoing investigation that the animal enforcement officers will be looking into over the next several days,” Stout said.

The animals are getting veterinary care, and it appears they will recover.
Stout said animal welfare groups in the area are assisting the Henderson County Animal Shelter in caring for the animals.
“Some of them have got a long road to recovery, but appear to be in a position to make a full recovery with the right types of treatment,” Stout said.
