CROWN POINT, Ind. (WLS) -- More than 40 dogs were rescued from a suspected puppy mill in Crown Point, Indiana, Thursday.
The Lake County (Indiana) Sheriff's Department said they received an anonymous tip Wednesday about a man who had bought unusually large quantities of dog foods and medical supplies for animals.

When they served search warrants on a home in Crown Point and at a barn on the outskirts of Rensselaer, they found dozens of dogs in various conditions. Police said at least four dogs had died.
The surviving dogs were taken to a county animal control where they're being assessed and treated, and eventually be put up for adoption.
