All of the animals on the property were found living in very poor environmental conditions. Conditions inside the dwelling were deemed dangerous for both humans and animals. Investigators also found several dead puppies. Others were suffering from hypothermia, dehydration and parasites including heartworms."
So even though they were nicknamed the "Texas 200" they were really more like the "Texas 300" as many of the females were whelping or near whelping large litters.
Here is a video that is just one of two building housing the rottweilers. It gives you a picture of the huge numbers of dogs that need homes.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of an all volunteer team these rottweilers are all now placed in foster homes. Now comes the important part. Finding them their forever homes.
These dogs have lived their whole lives in small pens without any socialization yet they have been doing wonderfully fitting into living in homes.
One of the dogs that needs a home happens to live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Meet Dillon. (for Marshall Matt Dillon of Gunsmoke - he got the heck out of Dodge!)
He is a lucky dog as he lives with a professional dog trainer and is getting some great basic manners training.
To adopt one of these dogs or specifically Dillon please go to this link to fill out an application.
