More than 30 pets were found surrounded by faeces, flies and rubbish and one puppy was discovered shaking in terror.
Described as a “house of horrors”, the RSPCA found 24 dogs, including 15 puppies, seven cats, a hamster and two rats, following a report to the charity’s cruelty line.
Inspectors said they couldn’t breathe because “the ammonia was overwhelming” when they entered the property.
Shocking video footage shows the moment inspectors enter the property as dogs run towards the door.
The images also reveal the filthy conditions in which the animals lived, surrounded by feces, urine and empty food cans.
Among the pets was the puppy Raya, who was found standing on a pile of garbage, shaking with fear.
While four petrified cats with urine-stained fur were crammed into dirty guinea pig cages.
Raya was one of 15 puppies taken to the RSPCA Birmingham Animal Hospital, where staff worked into the early hours of the morning to make everyone comfortable.

The other animals were taken to centers in England and Wales for urgent veterinary care before being rehabilitated so they could be rehomed.
RSPCA inspector Vicki Taylor wrote: “It was thanks to a report to our cruelty line that we were able to rescue all of these pets who were living in the worst conditions I have seen in my 21-year career.”
“A house full of animal feces, urine, empty food cans and pets in poor condition in desperate need of veterinary care.”
He added: “It was a job I will never forget: the conditions were appalling.” Every surface was covered in excrement and we had to constantly go outside to breathe fresh air because the ammonia was overwhelming.
“It was a long rescue, but it was a wonderful feeling to be able to get those animals out and give them the help they needed.”
