On December 4, 2007, the Richmond Animal League was granted custody of four of the dogs seized in the Michael Vick dog fighting case. Two of the dogs are being cared for in a local foster home. The other two are in foster care with an out of state rescue group that prefers to remain anonymous. Learn about the two local dogs, the progress they've made and plans for the future here.
Alf and Gracie have apparently never been exposed to the insidious world of dogfighting either as fighters or bait dogs. We know this because they do not bear the telltale scars associated with fighters/bait dogs.
Please note, these dogs are not at the RAL shelter at this time
and are not yet available for adoption.
