The Lincoln County Animal Shelter in Kentucky took in 87 dogs and 16 cats after a search at a Waynesburg home, LEX 18 reported. The 103 animal intake forced the shelter to temporarily close its kennel.
Wanda Brock and Radford Brock face second degree animal cruelty charges following the September 15 search, according to the Courier Journal. The newspaper reported that their arraignment was scheduled for October 26. The charges are allegations, not convictions.
Why reports give different animal totals
The citation details quoted by the Courier Journal list 39 dogs outside and 32 dogs and 10 cats inside: 81 animals. LEX 18’s shelter reporting gives the larger intake total of 103. The published accounts do not explain the full difference, so the two figures should not be treated as interchangeable.
Medical care and help for the shelter
One dog required a leg amputation, LEX 18 reported. Other rescue organizations have since taken in many of the animals.
The shelter requested dog and cat food, litter and water bowls. Readers can use the shelter link in LEX 18’s report to check current needs before arranging a donation.
