The current Indiana neglect code only stipulates that food, water and shelter shall be provided to companion animals. Unless a county has ordinances stronger than the state code, it is difficult to legally remove animals and charge the abuser. There must also be willingness to take action by local law enforcement, animal control if it exists in the county and for the prosecutor to file charges against the person.
