MADRAS, OR -- The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office seized nearly 60 dogs over the weekend, from a home five miles east of Madras. Deputies executed a search warrant on Northeast Loucks Road, Saturday morning, and took 57 dogs they say were living in unsatisfactory conditions.
They cited 49-year-old Cora Gooding for Animal Neglect and not meeting the standards of care for breeders.
A local vet examined the animals and all were taken to the Three Rivers Humane Society, where the Sheriff's Office says they'll stay pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
