Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of filing animal cruelty charges against the former owner. The animals were rescued after being found locked in cages inside a garage.

According to authorities, the animals were found without food or water and some of them required medical attention. In addition to the 15 bulldogs, two adult mixed breed pitbulls were found in the house.

In late November, authorities determined that the animals could not be put up for adoption, so they were sent to a rescue center dedicated to this type of breed.
