HARRISBURG, Pa. –  More than 200 Chihuahuas have been removed from what
officials are calling unsanitary conditions in a central Pennsylvania home.
The state Agriculture Department said late Thursday that dog wardens
cooperating with state police executed a search warrant at the home in
Benton, in Columbia County, after receiving numerous tips.
They say many of the dogs were sick and numerous dead dogs were found. State
police are expected to file animal cruelty charges against the owners.
The dogs are being held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo
Center in Harrisburg and will be transferred to shelters Friday. They will
then be treated by veterinarians and evaluated for adoption.
Mike Pechart oversees dog law enforcement activities at the Agriculture 
Department. He calls it "an unfortunate situation of animal hoarding."
