Vick’s Seized Dogs Ready for Adoption

The SPCA in Virginia Beach, VA have a dozen dogs ready for adoption. But these aren’t Pit Bulls. These are beagles and other animals rescued from the Bad News Kennels, and they were probably intended to be used as chew toys for the vicious fighting dogs.

From the Daily Press here, along with a video:

A dozen dogs seized from Michael Vick’s Surry County property will be available for adoption at the Virginia Beach SPCA.

The nine beagles, two Rottweilers and a 100-plus pound dog believed to be a Cane Corso were seized from the property, along with more than 50 pit bulls, during a dogfighting investigation that started in April at property owned by Vick, a Newport News native and NFL quarterback.

The 12 dogs under the SPCA’s care show no signs of breeding or training as fighters and have no scars indicative of dogfighting. They’re undergoing behavioral and medical evaluations and then will be ready for adoption.

Of the more than 50 pit bulls that were seized, some died, including one that was euthanized because it was too aggressive. Now, 48 remain. Their lives are in the hands of a court-appointed guardian.
