Two Northglenn women are charged with 109 counts of animal cruelty after police rescued more than 70 dogs and cats from a home in the 1900 block of 116th Drive in July.

Patti Joslin, 69, and Dakotah Joslin, 32, each is charged with 11 counts of felony aggravated animal cruelty and 98 counts of misdemeanor cruelty to animals, according to the 17th Judicial District.

The district attorney’s office did not say how the women are related to each other.

Northglenn police began investigating the case in July and removed dozens of animals from the home and took them to shelters for medical evaluation and care.

Officers found two dead animals, a dog and a cat, inside the home.

Patti Joslin is in custody on a $5,000 bail, and her next court date was not available. Dakotah Joslin was released on $5,000 bail and is set to appear in court Nov. 10, according to court records.
