HOMEWOOD, Ill. (AP) — Authorities say 30 severely neglected dogs have been seized by police from a home in the south Chicago suburb of Homewood.

Homewood deputy police chief Jim Gannon says the Cook County sheriff’s office and the South Suburban Humane Society took the dogs from the home of a couple in their 30s on Saturday. Police did not identify the couple.

Emily Gruszka is the executive director of the humane society. She calls the conditions the dogs were found in, “absolutely horrible.” She says the dogs included 17 pit bulls and many pedigree dogs.

Gruszka says the humane society has the dogs and will give them medical treatment before they are available for adoption.
