ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) -
Dozens of rescued dogs will be leaving St. Louis this morning for special homes across the country. They are some of the 400 pit bulls that were rescued in July in the largest dog fighting bust in U.S. history. 26 pit bulls will be dropped off at adoptive homes throughout many western states including Utah, Oregon and California. The Humane Society is working with rescue groups, organizations that know how to deal with dogs that were trained to fight.
The animals' new owners know how to handle the dogs and retrain them. The dogs were brought to the Humane Society in July as part of a record five state raid. There were federal indictments and close to 30 arrests.
Another 31 dogs will be leaving St. Louis this afternoon they are headed for homes on the east coast. A judge recently ruled that these dogs are adoptable.
