Five children have been removed from a Franklin County home described at beyond filthy, with dozens of animals including dogs dead and decaying while still chained up.

In addition to 10 dead and 11 starving dogs, authorities found a horse, five chickens, a duck and eight cats.

The Department of Children's Services has taken custody of the children who lived at the house. Officers arrested 56-year-old Elizabeth Jean Windom on animal cruelty charges -- she's since left the jail on bond.
