LAKE STEVENS, Washington —
The man hadn't been heard from for some time when police went to check on him Friday. Investigators also found 40 dogs and puppies and six cats living in crates in the home.
Snohomish County Animal Control told KIRO 7 Reporter Gary Horcher that the owner of the property was running an illegal puppy mill and didn't have a proper license.
We will update this story as more information becomes available.
