Many dogs taken from Boardman home; neighbors complained of stench

BOARDMAN — About 30 dogs, including four litters of newborn puppies, were removed from an East Western Reserve Road home.

Police, agents from Animal Charity and a Mahoning County District Board of Health sanitarian were called to the home about 2 p.m. Monday.

“As soon as I got there, I knew that there were dogs inside,” said Joe Borosky, Animal Charity humane agent. “The smell was horrific.”

The home had been rented by a man who moved in about three weeks before with two adult relatives, the dogs and two birds.

Neighbors too had complained of the stench, officials said.

No charges have been filed.
