Authorities rescued 30 dogs, including nine puppies, from a LaGrange home during a hoarding investigation.

The Mastiff mixed breed dogs were discovered at a home on North Barnard Avenue, city officials said Friday.

Investigators declared the home unfit for human habitation and the dogs’ owner surrendered the animals to the city’s animal services officers, police said.
