The Dumb Friends League was contacted by the Humane Society of the United States regarding this case in hopes that the League could transport these dogs to Denver and search for adoptive homes.
“We’re happy that we can assist the Humane Society of Grove and Grand Lake with this case,” said Robert Rohde, Dumb Friends League president. “Thanks to the support we receive from our community, we’re able to give these dogs the TLC they deserve – veterinary care, a bath, proper nutrition and a warm, clean environment – until permanent homes can be found.”
According to an Oklahoma newspaper, the original owners of these dogs were charged with 12 counts of cruelty to animals. The remain in custody on $20,000 bail.
Of the 98 dogs that we received, 70 have already been adopted. We're expecting that approximately 10 more of these dogs will be made available for adoption over the next couple of days.
If people are interested in adopting one of these dogs, they are encouraged to visit the Dumb Friends League Web site, ddfl.org, or call (303) 751-5772, to find out when these dogs are available. You can also help the Dumb Friends League care for these dogs by making a financial contribution either by mail or online:

If you would like to donate new or used jeweled, plaid, or bright-colored break-away cat collars, please bring or send them to our shelters, marked to the attention of Donna Mlinek.
