Animal officers remove 100 dogs from a Utah home in the ‘biggest and worst’ hoarding case they have seen

About 100 small dogs are being removed from a Taylorsville home in what city officials say is "the biggest and worst" animal hoarding case they've seen.

Animal officers from multiple agencies removed 68 of the dogs, mostly chihuahua and terrier mixes, Thursday, and were still trying to catch the remaining dogs after rounding up 10 more Friday, at a house near 5700 Easton Street, said David Moss, director of animal services for Taylorsville and West Valley City.

"They were all over the place," Moss said. "Surprisingly, they're in fairly decent condition. [The owner] was feeding them; they're a healthy weight.
