"Very very poor, in fact, conditions are terrible in there," City of Buffalo Animal Control Officer Chuck Loubert said.
"This is unbelievable. I have feces all over my boots.. I'm not kidding you. It was like 2 inches thick on the floor."
"No heat, no water running... I didn't see an ounce of food in there."
That is what SPCA and Animal Control officers found inside a home on Fillmore Avenue, as they rescued 30 pomeranians, living in deplorable conditions.
"It was an overwhelming smell of urine and feces, there were dogs running everywhere, there wasn't a clean spot on the floor that you could walk without stepping in animal waste," Aaron Kandefer, SPCA Cruelty Investigator, said.
Sixty-one year-old Ronald Geska now faces 30 counts of animal cruelty. He is due back in court next month. Officers believe the homeowner was hoarding the dogs.

"He just says he let them go. He came, fed them, went, came back. And no heat, no water running. I didn't see an ounce of food in there," Chuck Loubert added.
The dogs are now in the custody of the Erie County SPCA. A judge will decide if they will be put up for adoption.
