A complaint Monday afternoon led Orange County Animal Services to discover children living with 22 "rescue" pets in a garbage-packed home, according to animal services reports. Besides inches of urine, feces and standing water covering the floors, the home had blue tarps covering furniture and numerous animal cages because of rain coming through the ceiling, reports state. "The walls and ceiling (were) rotted and falling in. Big chunks of plaster were in the soppy floor water," wrote an Animal Services investigator, who described the conditions as the worst she had seen in eight years on the job. "Bugs were everywhere." Some of the puppies had been kept in a bucket. Most of the others lived in cages without food or water. A German shepherd puppy was so hungry that when an Animal Services investigator provided a full pan of food "the dog devoured (it) in a matter of minutes," records state. A pit bull could not stand or hold up its head PHOTOS:media.cmgdigital/shared/news/documents/2013/06/10/photosanimalcruelty2.pdf WFTV - wftv/news/news/local/couple-accused-child-neglect-hoarding-19-pets/nYHRB/ ORLANDO SENTINEL -orlandosentinel/news/local/breakingnews/os-animal-hoarding-orange-20130610,0,6606518.story apps.ocfl.net/dept/CEsrvcs/animal/NetPets/AnimalDetail.asp?ID=A261488&RT=T
