We had to confiscate over 50 dogs, American Field Bred Pointers and English Setters... can send you pictures.. but they were in awful condition.

It's a long story, this Gary Kimes had over 60 dogs out on a mountain, and was feeding them slaughter house carcasses, and old bread still in the bags.

They were living in 50 gallon barrels for shelter. Most were extremely emaciated, some dead, and a few had to be euthanized. It was a pitiful sight.

The Ozark Humane Society is removing the dogs from the property, cataloging the dogs and housing them at the Humane Society's shelter.

The sheriff's department said the dogs were housed in small pens with no clean water and the only food available were full, unopened loaves of bread.

Several dogs appeared to be malnourished and in poor health.
Kimes’ bond is set at $15,000.
