A Georgia man was arrested this week in connection with a dog-fighting operation, according to authorities.
More than 100 dogs were rescued in the bust in Paulding County. Vincent Lemark Burrell, 55, faces charges of animal cruelty and dog fighting.
Detectives found the animals tied to trees and metal stobs in the ground. The dogs were also not properly hydrated and fed.
"These animals were tied to various things using large and extremely heavy logging chains and thick collars," the sheriff's office said. "Many of these dogs were basically left in the elements with little to no shelter for days on end."

The dogs were also not regularly checked or vaccinated by a veterinarian.
"Some of the dogs were housed in the basement of the home where the presence (along with the odor) of urine and feces was so strong, authorities had to wear protective equipment just to be able safely enter the home," the release said. "Conditions where dogs were being housed, both inside and on the exterior of this property, were not fit for humans, much less dogs."
