64 Animals Rescued, 27 Found Dead Inside Flint Township Home

What Flint Township police walked into this week is hard to even put into words.

According to Flint Township police, officers served a search warrant at a home and immediately knew something was very wrong. The air burned their eyes and lungs from dangerously high ammonia levels, and they had to rotate in and out because staying inside wasn’t safe.

What Officers Found Inside the Flint Township Home

Inside the home were more than 90 animals. Sixty one dogs and three cats were still alive, trapped in overwhelming filth. The house was filled with piles of feces, rotting furniture, and toxic air no living being should ever have to breathe. Watching the video below, it almost feels like you can smell it through the screen.

And then there were the animals that didn’t make it. If you’re not already sick to your stomach, this part will do it.

Police say 26 dogs and one cat were found dead. Some of the deceased animals were discovered inside trash bags near the front door, treated like garbage waiting to be taken out.

Animals Removed and Investigation Ongoing

Officers documented everything and got every surviving animal out, even though the conditions were physically revolting and emotionally draining. In total, 64 animals were rescued and are now safe.

The investigation is still ongoing.

Police also gave a lot of credit to Genesee County Animal Control for stepping in immediately and taking over care for the animals. If you’re looking to help, donations of food or pet supplies can be made directly to Animal Control.

Police have not released any information about who lived in the home or whether charges will be filed. The investigation is ongoing.
