DADE COUNTY, Ga. — Three days after the shocking discovery of over 260 animals at a home in Dade County, Georgia, we have an update on how those animals are now doing.
We learned on Friday that there are still a handful animals on the property that still haven't been recovered.
Audray Luck from Luck's Rescue told us she returned to the property on Sells Lane on Thursday night, as some dogs remain without food and water.
We went back with some live traps, and we were able to catch three of the four chows in the backyard. When we got onto the property, the Chows were just very scared,” said Luck.
Regarding that last dog still in the backyard, Luck said,
We are reevaluating this morning and trying to get a plan put together to figure out how we can get the dog into our care as soon as possible.
Rescue operations are still underway to ensure the welfare of the remaining animals.
While many of the dogs have been adopted or fostered through the Catoosa County Animal Shelter and organizations like the Dade County Pet Project and Luck's Rescue, there are still ways for the community to help.
“In two weeks, the foster may decide, you know, it's not a good fit for their family, or for whatever reason, the dog may come back to us, or they may decide that they don't want to adopt the dog. So I would still recommend that people reach out,” Luck said.
Addressing concerns about whether the situation was a breeding operation or a hoarding case, a spokesperson clarified,
“These dogs have been neglected. They've been abused. They've been dying. It's 100% a hoarding case when the owners are unable to give the correct care to the animal.”
