They expect 8-10 of them tomorrow.
Reports include 4 who are older and in bad shape as well as 6 or 7 older with symptoms including bowed legs, broken ears, matted coats and eyes, etc.
They are near Fort Smith, Arkansas. This hasn't hit the press yet as they are hoping the "owner" will surrender the animals before being prosecuted.
A volunteer is working with the sherrif's department and contacted me. They have American Eskimos, Akitas, Burnese Mtn Dogs, and other pbs and mixed dogs.
Please feel free to pass on to ANY other rescue groups, especially Akita ones as I'm a little geographically challenged ;0)
Thank you,
Mich"
Akita Rescues are filled to the max. They can't handle an influx like this.
This area sits right between Tulsa, OK & Little Rock, Ark. Fort Smith is on the boarder of Oklahoma. Tulsa, Ok is about 100 miles south of this location.
Fort Smith is 100 miles north west of Little Rock.
More info forthcoming as I get it.
