The Humane Society of the United States and the Kingman County Sheriff’s Office removed nearly 30 dogs from an alleged cruelty situation in Kingman County, Kansas.

Beauties and Beasts, Kansas Horse Education, Advocacy and Resource Team, and Kingman Humane Society also provided assistance at the scene.

The Kingman County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at home near SE 100th and S Hwy 14 Tuesday morning.

Animals there appeared to be living in a poor, filthy environment, and some appeared to be suffering from skin conditions. Some were running loose on the property while others were in makeshift pens trying to find shade under trailers on the property.

Authorities will take the animals to an undisclosed safe location where they will be assessed and have any additional needs can be addressed.

“No animal deserves to suffer in deplorable conditions like those we’ve seen today,” said Midge Grinstead, Kansas state director for the Humane Society of the United States. “We are thankful to the Kingman County Sheriff’s Office and our partners for answering the call to help these animals.”

The Kingman County Sheriff’s Office requested the assistance of the Humane Society of the United States after concerns about the welfare of animals on the property were raised.

“I am proud we were able to work together to help get these animals the care they need,” said Sheriff Randy Hill. “We’d like to thank the Humane Society of the United States, Beauties and Beasts, Kansas Horse Education, Advocacy and Resource Team, and Kingman Humane Society for their assistance today.”
