Georgia police showed up at the property of a suspected dog fighting facility and recovered more than a dozen pit bulls who they say were being groomed to fight prior to sale.
Jacob Driver Jr, 50, has been charged with felony violation of the dog fighting statute and cruelty to animals.
"There were a few males on scene that had scarring on their front legs and chest and facial area, indicating they may have been fought or it may just be from training," Wade added. "Most of them may be young enough where they will be able to be couch dogs, get treats all of the time and get true human love and affection. No dog should ever endure the training these dogs have gone through. It's horrifying, it's heinous and it's awful."A spokesperson for the Floyd County Police Department told Fox News Digital he believes the dogs are currently with private boarders.
