Officials from Lichfield District Council have launched raids on two properties over animal welfare concerns.
A magistrate granted warrants to enter and search the addresses – which have not been released – after reports around 90 dogs were being kept in poor conditions.
The raids were supported by police and a vet, with action being taken in one of the cases.
Cllr Alex Farrell, cabinet member for housing and the Local Plan, said:
“Lichfield District Council takes animal welfare extremely seriously.
“In addition to responding to complaints about animal neglect, the council licence and inspect a range of activities that involve animals to safeguard their welfare.
“Officers are currently targeting people who are breeding dogs, providing dog day care, or keeping dangerous wild animals without a licence.
“All those holding a licence can be found on the council’s website, along with their star rating, and I’d encourage anyone with information about illegal activity to contact the council.”
