Authories shut down puppy farm
Ninety-five dogs and one cat were seized from a residence at 210 Turner Cove near Red Banks Thursday, according to Tim Rickey with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals-New York. An investigation was initiated by county prosecutor Shirley Byers with the Marshall County Sheriff's Department serving the search warrant.

Animals will be distributed to Humane Society shelters in Marshall County and Collierville, Tenn., after all medical examinations are completed, probably beginning Saturday, February 6, he said. Some animals may be taken to larger shelters, as far away as Atlanta, because the capacity at local shelters will be insufficient to house all the dogs.
