Sheriff’s deputies, who were attempting to serve an eviction notice on Nov. 16, discovered dozens of abused and neglected animals in an unsanitary house on County Road 201. According to court documents, the animals had various degrees of neglect and “the dogs suffered from mange, lice, growths on their feet, diseased lower jaws and urine burns. The cats suffered from upper respiratory disease. The rabbit and other animals were suffering of malnutrition.”
Lil’ Tykes Rescue and Adoption in Dale County were awarded custody of about 24 cats, 10 dogs and one Ma-caw parrot that eventually died of malnutrition.

Lil’ Tykes manager April Gales said she has not received the rest of the animals because the Walkers’ current whereabouts are unknown.
