27 Dogs Found in Forsyth County Home

CUMMING, GA -- Deputies executing a search warrant in north Forsyth County on Wednesday found 27 dogs in a home, being held in what authorities called deplorable conditions.

A spokesman for the Forsyth County Sheriff’s office said the warrant was obtained after authorities got information from an area hospital about a person who showed up with unspecified injuries.

At the residence, on Franklin Goldmine Road off of Canton Highway, deputies found at least one dog dead, according to sheriff’s office spokesman Epifanio Rodriguez.

The rest, he said, were being kept in bad conditions.

No charges in the case had been filed as of Thursday morning, Rodriguez said.

Staff from the Forsyth County Animal Shelter took the dogs in and are treating them there.
