"[Animal Control Officers] located a kennel containing 10 individual dog pens and a common run area. Inside of those pens and run, officers found 21 deceased dogs and one surviving dog," a Dinwiddie Fire and EMS spokesperson said. "All of the dogs appear to have been a hunting breed commonly referred to as walkers or walker hounds."


Floyd McNeil Maitland, who owned the dogs, was charged with two felony counts of animal cruelty.

"As the investigation moves forward, additional charges may be brought in the case," the spokesperson said.

The surviving dog is expected to fully recover.

The deceased dogs were taken to the Lynchburg Regional Animal Health Laboratory to determine cause of death.

Of course, getting the hoarder to recognize that they need help and getting them to apply the techniques or whatever therapists give them is quite difficult. It can be court ordered, but that doesn't mean the hoarder will be transformed after attending. That is what I see as the biggest hurdle to any psych help.
