Eight dogs – including two puppies – were seized from the home as their basic animal welfare needs were not being met.
The puppies were in need of "urgent" medical attention, Sudbury police said on Facebook.

A Suffolk police spokesman later revealed two of the dogs remain in the care of vets, while the other six are in care at kennels.
A man in his 40s was arrested and released on police bail, pending further enquiries, the spokesman added.
The dogs have each been described as a Bull Terrier mix.
