Anne Arundel County police said they found one dead pit bill that was frozen to the ground along with five malnourished pit bulls in the woods in Pasadena Friday morning.
The Anne Arundel County Police Gang Unit used a search warrant to inspect the property in the 7800 block of Freetown Road early in the morning, finding the dogs tethered and chained to posts in the woods. The dogs, which ranged in age from 10 months to about 4 years, had no food or water, police said. The dogs had shelters but they were not adequate to protect them from the elements.
Animal Control removed the dogs, which are not yet available for adoption due to their health. Animal Control officers named them Hurricane, Blizzard, Whirlwind, Tsunami and Tornado.
Anne Arundel County police ask that anyone with information to identify the owners of the dogs call Anne Arundel County Animal Control at 410-222-8900 or the Anne Arundel County Police anonymous tip line at 410-222-4700.
