Guernsey County Dog Warden Karla Kerns seized 10 dogs and a puppy found living in squalor conditions at a Franklin Avenue residence in Cambridge earlier this week.
Kerns also recovered the bodies of five dead dogs that were reportedly being eaten by the other canines inside the one-story residence.
The dogs were located during a well-being check for the property owner, identified by the sheriff s office as Greg Graham, whose location remained unknown as of Wednesday.
Kerns transported the dogs to the Cambridge Animal Clinic where they were examined by Dr. Hallie Nesselroad before being placed at the Guernsey County Animal Shelter.

The case against a Cambridge area resident accused of harboring a runaway girl and giving her illegal narcotics was bound over to the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court on Thursday.
Jesse A. Law, 43, Cambridge, faces one count of corrupting another with drugs, a second-degree felony. The decision to bind the felony case over to the higher court was made Thursday during a preliminary hearing in the Cambridge Municipal Court.
The victim s age, 17, was a factor in the filing of the felony offense, according to Guernsey County Sheriff s Major Jeremy Wilkinson.
Law also faces a third-degree misdemeanor count of interference with custody filed by deputies in the municipal court for allegedly harboring the teen after she ran away from home.
