Franklin County officials have removed some 200 animals from a home criticized by an animal welfare organization.
Animal Services director Graham Stalling says he obtained a warrant Monday to take the animals from Renee Jean Long of Zebulon.
Agents removed 25 dogs plus ducks, pigeons and chickens. Authorities found three dead puppies and three others that were seriously ill.
Stalling says he responded to complaints from a neighbor about seeing an animal carcass and rats, as well as smelling foul odors.
The rescued animals were taken to various animal shelters across the state.
Kim Alboum with the North Carolina chapter of the Humane Society of the United States says it appeared Long was running a breeding operation and was selling the animals online.
Long would not talk about the matter.
