A Franklin County couple is accused of doing the un-thinkable, with nearly two dozen dogs. The basset hounds were found in terrible condition and now they'll have to explain why in court. It is alleged that 24 basset hounds never went outside of the house for years. But according to neighbours there were occasional break-outs.

It is the worst case in the county in years. Conditions of the house were described as horrendous. If you are in a situation you can't handle you should ask for help. The Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter and you can help. Some dogs will be available for adoption as early as this weekend.

PS: I hope there are some kind people who can take care of these gorgeous hounds, but surely there are already lots needing homes!

From 6 weeks to 14 years old... Poor doggies; such sweet faces.

There's a special place in hell reserved for people like this.
Those poor sweeties

It's a good thing they're out of that situation. I hope these people aren't allowed to adopt any more dogs... though they probably will.

Such sad story! Hopefully the hounds can all find good homes now.

Poor creatures, how awful! I hope they are rehomed soon to people who will care and love them.
