This is the famous (or rather infamous,
EDNAH sanctuary) that among other things got a bunch of dogs rescued in New Orleans area because of
Hurricane Katrina. I believe the Katrina dogs placed there were from Pasado, a
reputable group in Oregon?, not sure, that had done rescue in NOLA. As a second tragedy,
one of the places that some the EDNAH dogs were sent to in Kansas, also just got raided
for exactly the same conditions.

Here is a post I just received. I'm just saying
you have to be extremely careful with sanctuaries. I think ALL of them
are started for the right reasons. People just get overwhelmed and then
we have situations like this. :(
Of course I realize there are many wonderful
sanctuaries. I think people wanting to get rid of an animal for some
reason just jump on the term 'sanctuary' and leave an animal there thinking
they've done the 'right' thing without doing any checking, etc.... It's a
shame, but many sanctuaries end up in bad situations.

Animal Rescuers Charged With Cruelty
GAMALIEL, Ark. — Two owners of an animal
rescue operation were
arrested after hundreds of dogs, some rescued from
Hurricane
Katrina, were found on the couple's property
groveling for food
among urine and feces, authorities said Saturday.
Among the stench, sheriff's deputies found one
dead dog, another
with a broken leg, and many with sores, Baxter
County Sheriff John
Montgomery said.
Between 400 and 500 dogs were on the two-acre lot,
including 50 pit
bulls rescued from Louisiana after the hurricane,
Montgomery said.
About 75 dogs were running loose, he said.
Some of the dogs appeared to be aggressive; others
sat nervously in
small metal cages.
"It's very sad that people depend on this
shelter to take care of
their animals and you get here and see that the
conditions are just
unbelievable," Montgomery said.
William Hanson, 41, and his wife Tammy Hanson, 38,
were charged
Friday with animal cruelty and released on $1,000
bond each.
Messages left with the couple Saturday seeking
comment were not
immediately returned.
Volunteers and a veterinarian were tending to the
animals at
E.D.N.A.H. Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, or Every
Dog Needs A Home.
Montgomery said the dogs might be sent to other
shelters or rescue
groups.
