My dog, Normie, came from a situation like that. The dogs were in horrible shape when someone finally turned them in to authorities. Normie was one of the puppies. I didn't know until after I adopted him that there were 40 or 50 adults also. because of the years of inbreeding he has seizures, little bladder control, and other issues. I love him. He's my favorite dog I've ever had but the condition of the dogs was awful. The females all had bad bleeding from their uterus. None of the dogs were used to humans. The people at the humane society couldn't even tell which of the females were the mothers of the 18 puppies. Normie hated people when he was a baby. He didn't know he could hear until he was four months old. I got him when he was about 8 weeks. He didn't wag his tail until after he realized he could hear. He was something else. He still is. His nickname was psycho puppy hence the name Norm.
I don't know what to tell you to do other than to follow your gut instinct and your heart. If the situation is detrimental to the welfare of the animals, then you know what you should do. Hopefully, r2rusmc and others will be by to offer some advice.
