The animals had no access to water, or litter boxes for the cats, and the only supply of food that responders could find was a bag of dog food torn open on the floor.
Cooke was assisted by two Healthy Hearts and Paws Project volunteers, Jo and Kristen, to safely recover the six dogs over the course of three hours.
The dogs are currently being housed at the Healthy Hearts and Paws Project shelter in Warren.
Humane traps will be set up in order to safely recover the cats, as responders were unable to locate them among the sheer volume of garbage in the residence.
