Multiple malnourished dogs have been rescued from a property near Finch Hatton.

Police were called to Owens Creek earlier this month to speak to a 27-year-old woman about other matters.

The officers stumbled upon the eight puppies and two female dogs at the property, which were allegedly malnourished and were infested with ticks and fleas.

Queensland Police Service say the dogs are now safe with the RSPCA and on their way to loving homes.

The RSPCA has investigated the matter and confirmed it was not a puppy farm.
