BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Officials from Wibaux (WEE'-boh) County and the Humane Society of the United States removed more than 90 dogs from an east-central Montana home after neighbors complained the dogs were being poorly cared for.

The United Animal Nations says the dogs, mostly shepherd mixes, were living in filthy, crowded outdoor pens near Wibaux and that many of them had skin infections and parasites.

Humane Society spokeswoman Jordan Crump says the owner relinquished the dogs. Officials did not release his name and Humane Society officials say they did not expect charges to be filed.

Human Society director of animal cruelty Adam Parascandola says the owner of the dogs became overwhelmed.

The dogs were being taken to a temporary shelter at the Fallon County fairgrounds in Baker.
