An Orange County couple is now facing charges for allegedly running an illegal puppy mill.

Earlier this month, officers seized more than 20 yorkies and two birds from a home in Sparrowbush.

Investigators say Lillian Jennings, 63, and Francis Jennings, 68, were selling the dogs online for up to $6,000 each.

Police say the home was filled with garbage and described it as unfit to live in.

The couple faces dozens of animal cruelty charges.

They are due back in court next month.
