Adams County SPCA closed unexpectedly Friday following the seizure of more than 100 animals, according to the organization's social media accounts.
Most of the animals seized were birds, including pigeons, ducks, geese and chickens. The organization also took in pigs, rabbits, cats and miniature donkeys from a residence in Adams County, the post states.
With a search warrant, the SPCA seized a total of 133 animals from the residence on Dec. 7. None of the animals are available for adoption at this time because of the pending court case.
A Facebook post depicts alleged "deplorable conditions" with the animals confined to small spaces and living in unsanitary conditions. (Warning: Some might find the photos disturbing.)
The Adams County SPCA could not release more details at this time because the investigation remains open.
The organization is asking the community for donations — both monetary and in the form of Tractor Supply gift cards, bagged straw and bales of hay — to help care for the animals in the coming days.
