Overview

• Deputies removed about 101 animals Wednesday from a home on Umpire Street in unincorporated Adams County during an animal cruelty investigation.
• The seized animals included snakes, sugar gliders, a hedgehog, mice and rats, according to the sheriff’s office.
• All animals were transferred to Riverdale Animal Shelter for treatment, and officials reported no deaths in the case as of Thursday.
• No arrests have been made, and investigators say they have not confirmed who lives at the house or the residents’ connection to the case.
• Records reviewed by CBS Colorado indicate the homeowners listed on the property previously faced animal cruelty charges tied to a now-closed Thornton pet store, as the shelter manages 540-plus animals after five investigations in three months.
