Investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office are currently investigating a case of animal cruelty after being called to the property of 1126 Dunklin Bridge Road, just after 11:00 Monday morning. 
The request was made by Animal Control after their officers were called to the property regarding the operation of a possible “puppy mill” of caged dogs being used for breeding.
The dogs were described as a wide variety of breeds, significantly malnourished and not being properly cared for.
When Investigators arrived on scene, they discovered 39 dogs that appeared in these conditions.
In addition, 2 of the dogs were found deceased. 
Investigators have not made an arrest at this time, however 39 dogs have been seized by Animal Control and the investigation is ongoing.
