The Manistee County Sheriff's Office and an animal control deputy found 29 huskies and husky mix dogs living in filthy conditions in a Manistee County pole barn on Thursday. 

Police responded to a report of animal cruelty in Maple Grove Township. When they arrived, deputies found the dogs aged 9 years old to 4 months old. 

The animals were living, eating and sleeping in feces and urine on a concrete floor of the barn. Many of the animals had stained, dirty and matted hair from the living conditions.
