No Dog Left Behind At Bakersfield Fairgrounds

February 10, 2012

(ANIMAL NEWS) — Today the Global Animal Foundation donated $2,000 to The Dog Spot Rescue for the immediate aid of the 35 remaining dogs left at the Kern County Fairgrounds. In January, 180 dogs were rescued from an animal rescuer that turned animal hoarder. Duain Preitz called officials asking for help with around 100 animals after his rescue organization was under threat of eviction. Police arrested Preitz on suspicion of felony animal cruelty after officials found not 100 animals, but a compound full of 215 live animals, most of them dogs, but also including cats, horses, ducks, chickens, and a pig. An undisclosed number of animals were already deceased. — Global Animal
