It has been a rough couple of weeks for 33 dogs that were rescued from a dog breeding business, but there have been positives in the matter.

The Putnam County Animal Care recently posted on Facebook that all of the German Shepherds that were recovered are "doing great."

"All of them have gained weight, coats are filling in beautifully and their personalities are starting to show and they are learning to be dogs," the animal care posted. 

Monetary donations that were received have been applied to help with medical expenses for some of the dogs, as one was heartworm positive and two had Lyme disease. 

"Now the process can start looking for fosters, foster to adopt and adoptions (once spay/neuter is complete). All foster applications we received have been forwarded to the rescue. If you are interested in one of these beautiful babies, follow their stories and application information on the rescue's Facebook page. The rescues are Indiana GSD and Siberian Husky rescue, Great Babies rescue, Lucky Pups and Our Lil Bit of Heaven," the post stated. 

As for the suspects, formal charges were filed against James Gray, 55, and his sister, Julia Gray, 60, of Brazil, and the pair are facing more than two dozen animal cruelty charges stemming from a welfare check at Vom Greystone Guardians, 7501 S. County Road 800 West. 

Upon arrival, officers found two dead dogs and 33 others in "deplorable conditions." 

According to court records, an investigation was prompted after a call was made to animal control requesting food for several dogs. 

Upon arrival, animal control found several malnourished dogs, as well as a "severely emaciated dog" on the property, who later had to be put down by a vet. A search warrant later revealed more animals looking malnourished and living in deplorable conditions. In addition, police found 11 German Shepherds stacked on top of each other in small cages, and one cage had a dead dog at the door of the cage. No water or food could be found inside the cage.
