MARTIN COUNTY (WTHR) — The Martin County Sheriff's Department and Animal Control have shut down a puppy mill with dozens of dogs.
According to Martin County Humane Society, 30 dogs were taken from the property on Thursday night.
There are an estimated 30 to 50 more dogs, plus other animals including horses and donkeys. Some of the dogs found on the property were already deceased.
Police arrested Julia K. Arney for animal neglect and animal cruelty Friday. She is being held on a $20,000 cash bond.
The humane society only has capacity for 14 dogs, however, three other rescue organizations have stepped up to help.
The dog breeds are Australian Shepherds and Yorkies.
