MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (WDJT) — A man is now charged after animals were seized from a Milwaukee home acting as a makeshift pet store. Forty-six-year-old Larry McAdoo is facing 12 charges of mistreatment of animals and improper animal shelter sanitation standards.
Over the weekend, 113 animals were rescued, including 25 dogs, 23 birds (chickens, ducks, parakeets, pigeons, a turkey, macaw and others), four cats, one goat, four chinchillas, one ferret, eight hamsters, six rabbits, seven hedgehogs, five guinea pigs, two alligators, six lizards, 14 rats, two snakes, three tortoises, and a raccoon.

The home had an overpowering smell of animal feces and urine.
According to a criminal complaint, a chicken and raccoon also had to be euthanized upon intake at MADACC.
