Animal urine and feces created a stench so bad neighbors were forced to call Bertie County Officials. They say what produced the nearly lethal ammonia levels at one man's home is shocking.
Bertie County Officials say they seized 46 dogs and three cats Thursday morning from one man's home in Lewiston.
Many of the animals are suffering from malnutrition, skin disorders, and abnormal social behaviors.
Bertie County Sheriff Greg Atkins says no charges have been filed as of Thursday evening, but misdemeanor animal cruelty charges will most likely be served Friday.

Workers at the Bertie County Animal Shelter say this man may have picked up nearby pets.
