HELENA-WEST HELENA -- An east Arkansas animal shelter said people have broken in to use dogs there for dog fighting for the second time in two weeks, leaving five animals injured.
In a Facebook post, the Humane Society of the Delta said a worker discovered the injured dogs Sunday morning at the shelter in Helena-West Helena.
The shelter previously had said its kennels had been broken into earlier this month for dog fighting. Four dogs had been injured, one seriously. The shelter said it wasn't clear whether those breaking in were taking their own dogs and using the shelter dogs for practice or were just having the shelter dogs fight one another. It said pit bulls in particular were targeted.
The shelter said it is beefing up security and that some employees have been staying overnight.
