PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Officers from the Pennsylvania SPCA removed at least a dozen dogs from a former pet shop in the city's Grays Ferry neighborhood.

According to PSPCA officials, they removed at least a dozen dogs from the home, some who were kept in small crates.

PSCPA officials said conditions inside the property were deplorable.

Police are not releasing the name of a suspect due to the fact that the individual is in the witness protection program.

The investigation is ongoing.
