Dogs rescued from alleged dogfighting
The Humane Society of the United States assisted the Gaston County Police Department and their Animal Care and Enforcement Unit in rescuing 14 dogs from an alleged dogfighting and cruelty situation in Gaston County, North Carolina.
On August 2, local authorities served a search and seizure warrant on a residential property at approximately 6:30 a.m. The dogs were found living in makeshift, hazardous enclosures throughout the property, some with visible scarring consistent with injuries typically seen in dogfighting operations. Veterinarians noted dental issues, skin conditions, missing hair and puncture wounds on some of the dogs. We found dogfighting paraphernalia throughout the property.
The dogs are getting the care and attention they deserve. See their story here!
