A couple who kept a dozen dogs in filthy crates - as well as numerous other neglected animals - at their home have been banned from keeping pets.
Conditions at the property in Colne, Lancashire, were described by an RSPCA inspector as “shocking,” with dog faeces visible on the walls and floors thick with fur and animal waste.
One small room contained 12 dogs, eight of whom were living in wire cages stacked on top of one another with no bedding, food or water.
