Those investigations began after a Michigan Humane Society report News 10 first told you about found five dogs seized in a dog fighting investigation were not properly cared for.

The Ingham County Board of Commissioners voted earlier this week to suspend Director John Dinon and Deputy Director Anne Burns with pay.

The Ingham County Controller's Office announced Wednesday the shelter's Customer Service and Community Outreach Manager, Kate Turner will act as Interim Director.
