GERMAN – Authorities seized nearly 40 caged dogs from a Town of German property because the animals were allegedly not receiving adequate care.

The Chenango County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the SPCA Sunday and the agencies rescued 37 ill-kept, short haired terriers found in several steel cages inside a barn. The barn is located on the property of Barbara Brentana, 51, of Burkholder Road, McDonough.
