BAKER COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - Dozens of hounds have been abandoned in the woods in one Florida county because of a practice called "hound dumping."
Authorities said hunters abandon their dogs in the woods at the end of hunting season.
The London Sanctuary is stepping in to help, along with Baker County Animal Control, but with limited resources, they are overwhelmed with the dogs.
If the animals don't find forever or foster homes, some will have to be euthanized.
According to Connie Cannaday, the vice president of The London Sanctuary, at least 100 hounds were dumped in the past year.
Many of the animals end up in dog boxes set up around Baker County and some even have broken legs and gunshot wounds.
