HAMPTON ROADS, Va. — Hounds are being dumped in the woods or on the side of the road to fend for themselves in rural Hampton Roads, according to officials with a Virginia animal rescue group.

“It’s calls, emails, Facebook messages, everything, probably 30 dogs today before I came to see you,” Linger said.

Linger said typically this happens between hunting seasons when the hounds may not perform up to the owner’s standard, so they are abandoned. She said animal shelters are completely overrun and have no space to take in the dogs.

"They do not get vet care, and they basically get them when they’re a puppy. They try to train them and run them a few times; if that dog is not running the way they want them to run, they cut them loose,” Linger said.
