Woman Arrested for Animal Cruelty: 55 Dogs Rescued, 5 Puppies Found Dead in Freezer

A woman in Chandler, Arizona, running an animal rescue out of her condemned home has been arrested after 55 abused dogs were discovered and five dead puppies were found in a freezer. The dogs, many of which were elderly and special-needs, were without water and will likely need to be euthanized. The house has been condemned due to the poor air quality. The woman has been charged with multiple counts of animal abuse and cruelty, as well as vulnerable adult abuse, as her elderly mother also lived in the home. She claimed she didn't see anything wrong with storing food next to the dead animals.
