AR-News: (US TX) 15 Cocker Spaniels rescued

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

A local group that specializes in rescuing cocker spaniels has stepped 
forward to find homes for 15 dogs caught up in an alleged puppy breeding scam in 
West Texas.

A number of volunteers took in the dogs Friday night around midnight during 
the raging storm that moved through the area, said Judi Fetters, treasurer for 
Cocker Spaniel Rescue of East Texas/Houston.
"We were unloading dogs in the middle of that rainstorm, but we're diehards," 
Fetters said.
The 15 dogs were among about 50 puppies and adult dogs allegedly paid for and 
promised to some Virginia residents but that were never delivered.
According to news reports out of Amarillo, a woman named Monica Arnold sold 
the puppies then skipped town with the cash and the animals.
