A group of 60 live animals have been rescued from a filthy house - including days-old puppies.
The house in Des Moines, Iowa was attended to by The Animal Rescue League (ARL) and Norwalk Police.
They discovered 57 dogs and puppies, some of which were dead, and 3 cats living in awful conditions.
Waste and trash covered the floors, with the smell described as being overwhelming.
The dogs were crawling with fleas with many of the dogs and puppies having hair loss, and skin that was red raw from constant scratching.
Other dogs had scarred, cloudy eyes- with one hopping around on three legs.
ARL Animal Welfare Intervention Coordinator, Robyn Dobernecker, said: “We never know when the next call for help is going to come.
"And despite our shelter already being full of dogs, the ARL was there for them and is giving them the care they deserve.”
The animals remain in the care of ARL's medical team, and are receiving the help they need.
