Rescue Pleads for Help After Finding 50 Huskies on One Property
Navajo County, AZ – An Arizona Husky rescue group is pleading for help after discovering a property in Navajo County with a deluge of unaltered dogs. According to AZ Husky Rescue, Navajo County Animal Control visited this property three years ago and there were just 12 dogs there – fast forward to today and there are 50 dogs on the same property.
On Thursday, the organization said:
This is how quickly numbers can become extreme when breeding goes unchecked. The owners said they have given away and adopted out many dogs, yet they still have ~50 (we don’t even have an exact number) on property.
Explaining the desperate situation:
We called and spoke to animal control and learned there are only 3 officers for the entire county. They don’t have their own shelter facility. They contract with Holbrook’s shelter which is currently full – all 5 kennels that it has. Animals currently there would have to be euthanized to make room for these dogs – and even then, a 5-kennel shelter will not hold 50 dogs.
Outlining the various ways people can assist the dogs in need:
