The search for a man accused of domestic violence led to the discovery of a suspected puppy mill where 150 dogs were found at a Stanislaus County home, officials said Friday.Sgt. Luke Schwartz with the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office said 150 dogs mistreated and malnourished dogs were rescued from a duplex on Roselawn Avenue. The suspected puppy mill was discovered while deputies were searching for Nicholas Baugh, a man who on April 30 reportedly hit a woman with an ashtray and used a shock collar on her. Weeks later, on May 19, Schwartz said Baugh was arrested at his mother’s home, where the dogs were stashed away. The animals, which include Dobermans and French bulldogs, are now in county animal services custody. Video clips and pictures provided by animal services show some of the dozens of dogs living in deplorable, cramped conditions.”I’m told some of them have pretty significant c-section injuries that were growing infected, so I’m sure they’re going to give them the best care, best veterinary care that they can,” Schwartz said.Baugh faces domestic violence charges, along with 150 counts of animal cruelty. “The process has to play out and before any kind of adoptions take place, he has the opportunity in court to explain his side of the story,” Schwartz said.
