Dozens of dogs rescued, 3 found dead at West Valley residence

PEORIA — Peoria police say over 60 dogs were removed and three were found dead in a home near 91st Avenue and Union Hills Drive.

Officials say a court order was served Wednesday afternoon.

ABC15 crews spoke to a neighbor who said she had called officers for the past year as she attempted to get animal control to respond to the home.

Police say the investigation has been ongoing for several months, adding they “had been out to this residence over 100 times the past couple of years pertaining to several animal-related incidents, including: animal welfare, animal follow-up, found animals, etc.”
