An arrest has been made over the removal of 82 dogs from a home in Lauderdale County. Teresa Counce, 71, was taken into custody by authorities on 82 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty after dozens of dogs were taken from her home last week. Counce was arrested at around 3:30 PM on Tuesday, February 3rd according to Sheriff Joe Hamilton. After posting a $41,000 bond, she was freed from the Lauderdale County Jail. The allegations were brought about by the finding of 82 dogs in cramped cages within Counce’s house. As part of the investigation, the animals were taken out last week. Although officials are still looking into the matter, they have not released any additional information regarding the canines’ health. A veterinarian has been caring for the animals.
