Another shocking discovery in an animal abuse investigation in Casey County.

Authorities have found about a dozen dead dogs in freezers at a home on Chelf Ridge Road.

The animal cruelty investigation had begun earlier in the week after a neighbor called authorities after witnessing a dog eating another dog. The discovery of the other dead dogs came during further examination of the house on Sunday.

111 dogs have been removed from the property, and either rushed to veterinary clinics or the Garrard County animal shelter. Volunteers with United Rescues of Kentucky and Central Kentucky Regional Humane Society cared for and documented all of the dogs, and set up a triage center. The dogs were tested and vaccinated. Some were in critical condition. One died.

Monday, the moveable dogs will be going to other rescues and foster homes.

Donations can be made by visiting the United Rescues of Kentucky website at www.urky.org, or calling the Central Kentucky Regional Humane society at 859-792-4581.

The Casey County Sheriff's Department has cited the owner of the dogs, Cheryl Turner, for animal cruelty. She's due in court on August 24.
