Dyer, Tennessee - Local police made a chilling discovery when they found more than 70 neglected dogs living in a dangerous abandoned home.

According to a Facebook post, The Animal Rescue Corps (ARC), a non-profit based out of Washington DC, was called to assist the Dyer City Police Department at the scene, which they described as "a large and urgent cruelty case."

"The dogs have been left alone, facing overcrowding, fighting, and some of the worst ammonia levels ARC has recorded to date," the organization explained.

Heartbreaking photos show tons of dogs living in a dilapidated and structurally unsound home with dirt and trash scattered about the floor in every room.

Dogs Puppy abandoned in the woods finds help in the unlikeliest place

Some of the pups have clear signs of health issues, such as rashes, infections, and obvious malnutrition.

"The dogs are small and medium-sized and range from a puppy of only three weeks to pregnant mothers to elderly dogs with dementia – they all have been severely neglected for some time and have numerous untreated injuries and conditions."

It's believed that the original owners of the home moved away and left the pups behind, only returning to feed them. It hasn't been revealed whether the property owners will face legal charges or not.

"The fire department and other first responders are helping to brace the rotting floors with walkways so that ARC's Field Team can extract the animals," ARC said in a statement. "Thermal imaging is being used to locate survivors inside chewed-out furniture and crumbling walls and floors."

The Animal Rescue Corps is accepting donations to help ensure the dogs receive medical attention and find new homes.
