Animal control officers in Pierce County seized 27 dogs from a home on 52nd Street East in the Midland area of unincorporated Pierce County.

On September 15, calls from a concerned citizen led officers to the home. They had to get a warrant to get inside, and they were shocked by what they found.

“Twenty-seven dogs living in a small bedroom inside the home, unfortunately, two recently deceased dogs were found,” Pierce County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Carly Cappetto told KIRO Newsradio.
