I'm guessing 'room at the inn' has just dropped significantly.
100+ Dogs Seized From Raleigh Home

Raleigh — More than 100 dogs are in the custody of Wake County Animal
Control after they were recently seized from a Raleigh home.

According to a 26-page search warrant, the approximately 112 dogs, primarily
toy poodles, and eight birds were taken from the residence at 8252 Holly
Springs Road after a woman who was looking to breed her poodle reported
filthy and crowded conditions to authorities.

An animal cruelty investigator reported in the warrants that animal waste
accumulated on the surfaces of the animal housing and that the residence was
"heavily infested with cockroaches" and rodent feces, as well as strong
smells of ammonia and an infestation of bugs.

Neighbors said the animals were raised, groomed and boarded at the residence
and that the noise and odor coming from the property were a nuisance.

"The investigator looked around the property, did an assessment and
determined that she had the grounds to take possession of the animals," said
Mike Williams, with Wake County Animal Control.

An investigation is under way, and authorities have not yet determined
whether the resident of the property, Janie Conyers, will face charges.

Conyers declined to comment Tuesday, but according to the warrant, the woman
who called animal control said Conyers "was an elderly woman who lives alone
and who has few resources," and that Conyers requested a loan from the
caller to purchase dog food.

The animals have not been placed up for adoption and it was unclear if or
when they might be.

Animal control officials said the best thing the public can do is to help an
animal from their regular population.
