Four of the six Akitas were released by Animal Control to Akita Rescue Mid-Atlantic Coast for rehabilitation, fostering and adoption. The other two Akitas were deemed by Akita Rescue as being unadoptable. Ms. Colden-Hawkins is being charged with 5 (five) counts of Class 4 Misdemeanor counts of No Rabies Vaccination for K-9, and two counts of Class 1 Misdemeanor Animal Cruelty.
