DUPAGE COUNTY - A Glen Ellyn woman is facing charges following the discovery of more than a dozen dead animals.

The Daily Herald reports that police found over 30 dogs at April Elliott's residence, many of which were in poor condition. Tragically, nine of the dogs had already passed away.

In addition to the deceased canines, authorities also found deceased chinchillas and a rabbit.
