Twenty emaciated and scarred pit bulls were seized from a Queens home on Thursday, police say.

Officers from the 113th Precinct, along with the newly-formed NYPD Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad and the ASPCA, found the dogs when they executed a search warrant inside a house on 196th Street.

Addison Holder, 44, and Keisha Hall, 33, were arrested on charges in connection with animal cruely, animal fighting and possession of methamphetamine, according to police.

The dogs were taken to the ASPCA.
