The owner of the home was not there. Investigators are withholding the release of her name since she has not been formally charged. However, the charges mounted with each newly discovered animal, police said.

The woman is scheduled to be charged with one count of animal cruelty neglect for each dog, Weaver said. She also could face up to one charge of harboring a nonimmunized dog for each animal that has not received routine shots and vaccinations.

More charges could be pending as well as the investigation continues.

Neighbors have watched for years as the homeowner lived out of her car instead of her home.

Dawn Martin, who lives next door, she said it pained her to watch her neighbor struggle through the winter by leaving the car running for heat on cold nights.

"I am glad they are out here doing something about this," she said. "But I feel bad for (the woman)."

Martin said the smell is unbearable in the summer. She hasn't been able to have barbecues because the stench is so bad when it's hot outside. She said the dogs' barking often keeps her and her family awake at night.

The woman was selling the dogs and fed them all the time, Martin said.
