The Murray County Animal Control and Shelter is requesting support from licensed rescues after receiving “upwards of 40 hounds” from a local hoarding case.
None of the dogs, who vary in age, are up for adoption at this time, but housing them all there is “just not feasible.”
“That part is not up for debate or discussion and we will not be taking the time to answer as to why these will not be up for adoption,” the shelter said in a social media post.
If you work for or operate a licensed rescue and can help, call 706-695-8003. Otherwise, the shelter requests everyone help spread the word.
Due to this “urgent situation,” the shelter is closed to the public until next Monday, February 23.
We’re working to learn more about the hoarding case, and if any charges have been filed.
