The owner of the property is facing animal cruelty charges.
According to the Atlanta Humane Society, the "most medically in-need" dogs were expected to be brought to their Alpharetta and West Midtown locations on Friday.
"All of the animals will be assessed and given a basic medical exam on-site, and we are working tirelessly to find safe and appropriate placement for all of the dogs," said Amanda Harris of the Atlanta Humane Society.
