Van Buren County deputies were sent around 10 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 22, to a home near James and Exchange streets, where they came across animal feces, urine and trash scattered everywhere, according to a sheriff's department news release.
Officers found three dogs, which were taken away to the county's animal control unit. Police say they were confined to a basement and were without proper living essentials.
No arrests have been made, but a suspect is identified as a 32-year-old woman from the Hartford area.
An investigation into possible charges of animal cruelty/neglect is ongoing.
