Two accused of killing dogs stolen from shelter
By Associated PressMERLIN, Ore. (AP) -- Sheriff's deputies say they have accused two young people in the killings of four dogs stolen from the Josephine County animal shelter. Eleven dogs were stolen Friday. Later, four puppies were found dead, apparently hit in the head, along a road. Five dogs were found later, and two blue heeler pups are missing. Deputies said Wednesday they had arrested two of three people suspected of cutting chain-link kennel fencing Friday night at the shelter. The two were accused of animal abuse, theft and other charges. One was identified as 22-year-old Harley Hopkins. The other is a 16-year-old boy. Deputies say they are looking for a woman who is suspected. Both face four counts of felony animal abuse, one count of theft, one count of criminal mischief and one count of burglary.
