WACO - The Waco Humane Society was awarded custody of 78 dogs seized last week from an alleged puppy mill near Elm Mott.

James E. VanWinkle and Barbra Mitchell were ordered to pay $6240 in boarding costs for the dogs.

The state alleged that the animals had been "cruelly treated" by VanWinkle and Mitchell.

Around 8:00 p.m. last Friday, Waco Animal Control seized 78 dogs on Oak Knoll Lane. Animal Control told News Channel 25 they had received a complaint about the animals' living conditions.

The dogs were being kept in small crates normally used for rabbits. Each crate had at least two inches of feces and up to five dogs inside.
