Chihuahuas might be released soon
BURBANK -- A judge next month is expected to approve an agreement
that would allow a Burbank rescue organization to place nearly 200
Chihuahuas seized from an Acton breeder into foster homes.
Chihuahua Rescue reached an agreement with Los Angeles County
Department of Animal Control and Care to turn over the dogs, which
county officials said have formed aggressive, feral packs. The deal
was to be finalized at a July 17 hearing, but the breeder the dogs
were seized from refused to sign the agreement.
District attorney officials said they are confident the judge will
order the dogs to be placed by the rescue agency at an Aug. 5
hearing.
