Two people who ran an animal rescue operation in north Arkansas have been
arrested after hundreds of dogs, some rescued from Hurricane Katrina, were
found on the couple's property with sores and living in cramped cages.
Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery says sheriff's deputies found one dog
dead,
another with a broken leg, and many sickly dogs when they executed a search
warrant
yesterday and arrested the owners. He estimated that 400 to 500 dogs were on
the two-
acre lot in rural Baxter County, including 50 pit bulls recently rescued
from Louisiana in
the aftermath of the hurricane.
He said about 75 dogs were running loose. Forty-one-year-old William Hanson
and his
wife 38-year-old Tammy Hanson were arrested on misdemeanor charges of animal
cruelty. Each posted a one-thousand-dollar bond and were released from cust=
ody.
The couple were told not to return to their property. The Hansons could not
be reached
today for comment.
A sign on the property read E.D.N.A.H. Animal Rescue and Sanctuary.
The sheriff said volunteers and a veterinarian were tending to the dogs
today and the
animals may be sent to different animal shelters and rescue groups around
the country.
He said his goal is to reunite any pets with their owners.
