Nearly 100 dogs were rescued from deplorable living conditions in a Detroit home on Tuesday. Tulsa World reports that a neighbor complained about the smell and noise coming from the house, which led authorities to investigate.

In all, there were exactly 98 dogs and three cats removed from a house located in Cottrellville Township. A couple was believed to be breeding, showing, and rescuing dogs, according to St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon. Most of the animals consisted of Norwegian Buhunds, Norrbottenspets and Norwegian Spets mixes. Deputies found them covered in feces and urine. The good news is they were declared in overall good physical condition by the sheriff’s office.

“I think somewhere along the line, things got out of control,” Donnellon told WJBK-TV.

That’s a great place to live.

I have never heard of those breeds before.

Apparently they were keeping them fed but fell down on baths and picking up poop.

I have 4 dogs I can not imagine the up keep of 98 dogs.

“I think somewhere along the line, things got out of control,”

I just love when the police state the most obvious of observations.

The German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County saved 24 of 38 German shepherds back in April; the rest were saved by other rescues.

They became available for adoption in early June.

St. Clair County is not Detroit. It is north of the Detroit city limits, and in no way resembles The city I grew up in. However, dogs are a kind of status symbol in the ghetto. I can't imagine treating an animal like some of these people do.

I bet they left the people in that deplorable place. Why do you suppose there were six dogs stupid enough to still be living in Detroit?

[MarMema]

Yes. That was my point as well.

The article sure seems to have geography screwed up! Having lived in Port Huron, St Clair County, gone to college and worked in Detroit, Wayne County, it seems that someone missed Macomb County between the two locals. I know Detroit sure has changed since I left in the early 60s but I didn’t realize that other sections of the state had disappeared!
