POCOMOKE CITY, Md. (AP)- The owner of 40 German Shepherds seized by animal control officers in Maryland is suing to get them back.
Breeder Linda Brown, who owns Jolindy's Kennel near Pocomoke City, filed a lawsuit last week that asserts the 38 adult dogs and two puppies have been evaluated, and there's no basis to keep holding them. Brown is also seeking $10,000 in damages.
The dogs were removed from her kennel July 18 following a complaint about the health and conditions of the dog.
Somerset County Sheriff Ronnie Howard says animal control staff members from three counties and a veterinarian were on hand during the raid. He says the dogs are still at shelters, with the investigation expected to wrap up this week.
