The Parker County Sheriff's Department confirmed that it conducted a large seizure of dogs that appeared to be abandoned at a residence in Springtown on Monday, April 10. No arrests had been made in connection with the seizure as of press time.
It was also noted that on the property were several sick and deceased dogs.
Dustin Deel with the Weatherford Parker County Animal Shelter said the shelter took in 20 German Shepherds from the seizure. It has tightened the animal residency at the facility tremendously, he said.
"We have doubled up kennels and done everything we can to make space," Deel said. "But we have to get people to come in and get some animals from us. Anytime we get that big a number at once it hurts."
Deel stressed that no animals have been euthanized due to space because of the influx of the new dogs.
