Ginger and Karl Helland are accused of keeping the animals in filthy, dangerous conditions.
The Barnes County Sheriff's Office confiscated the dogs from their property, June 15, according to a post on the Prairie Paws Rescue website.

Prairie Paws, based in Jamestown, is caring for the dogs.

In 2014, Ginger Helland was found not guilty of animal neglect and abuse.

In that case, deputies found sick and dead horses on her property.
