Police found 37 bags filled with dead dogs in a Tennessee home and confiscated 39 live dogs from a woman who claimed to be their “rescuer,” authorities said.

Nicole Hulbig, 29, now faces animal cruelty charges for the treatment of the living dogs but cannot be charged for the deaths of the others, The Leaf Chronicle reported.

The canines’ remains were so badly decomposed that deputies could not tell how they died or get them tested, according to Sgt. Sean Ryan of the of Sumner County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control Division.

Officers could not even determine how many dead dogs there were, he said.

“They were so far gone, you couldn’t make heads or tails of it,” Ryan told the Tennessee paper. “It was horrible.”

Ryan said 37 of the living dogs were all inside the same barn, and many of them clearly did not have food or water in a long time. Two others, he said, were in a utility room inside the house.

Hulbig says she is the founder of RRR Service Dogs and rescues dogs from kill shelters.

The dogs were found at Hulbig’s 64-year-old mother’s house in Cottontown. The mother was neither identified nor charged.

Montgomery County Animal Control charged Hulbig with four counts of aggravated cruelty to animals and Sumner County charged her with eight counts of animal cruelty.
