PARKER, S.D. (AP) — The Humane Society said 172 dogs were removed from unsanitary conditions in Turner County where it said the property owner was breeding dogs and selling them online.

The investigation began after a consumer who bought a sick puppy lodged a complaint. Second Chance Rescue called in the Humane Society and the Turner County sheriff's department.

The Humane Society said many of the dogs appeared to have skin and eye infections, untreated medical conditions and parasite infestation.

The dogs were removed from a property near Hurley on Wednesday and moved to temporary shelter at the county fairgrounds in Parker.
