2 dogs, 6 puppies found in poor health, inhumane conditions
Thibodaux, LA (US)

Incident Date: Tuesday, May 31, 2011
County: Lafourche

Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: Russell Adams

A Raceland man faces animal cruelty charges in connection with the discovery of two adult pit bulls and six puppies in allegedly poor health and inhumane conditions.

Lafourche deputies went to the home of Russell Adams, 31, 612 Victory Lane, after receiving a complaint on May 31 that Adams had sold someone a puppy for $100 that was found to be ill.

Deputies found puppies with distended bellies and ribs, hip and back bones that could easily be seen through the skin, said Sgt. Lesley Peters, a Sheriff's Office spokeswoman. The animals were also reported to have been very thirsty.

Two allegedly underweight adult dogs were found. One allegedly had scars on its face, nose arms, side and abdomen. Another was chained under a sheet of plywood just inches above the ground, Peters said. The animals were taken to a shelter. Adams was booked Friday at the Lafourche jail on nine counts of cruelty against animals and nine counts of not having animals properly vaccinated. He was released after posting a bond of $3,150.
