Joel Skidmore, with Animal Care Services, told KIIITV one adult dog and eight puppies were found dead.
Five adult dogs were taken to the emergency room .
Two of them were euthanized due to the critical condition they were in. The other three are currently receiving ongoing medical attention.
Joel Skidmore explained: “They're not out of the woods yet, but we’re confident in the team that is taking care of them. Once they are fully recovered we are going to be seeking placement to make sure they get a better second chance at life.”
As reported by KKKTV, “Police say when they were completing an inventory of the vehicle to be impounded, they located narcotic substance.”
