The investigation into Miranda's Rescue in Fortuna began April 22 after the sheriff's office said they received credible information of allegations of felony animal abuse, animal cruelty, fraud and conspiracy. A search warrant served May 1 at the site resulted in detectives finding evidence related to the investigation, the sheriff's office said.
The skulls of 21 dogs, hundreds of bones and six loose microchips were also found near the dig sites.
The rescue describes itself as a "no-kill rescue," and in a statement by founder Shannon Miranda posted to their website, she says, in part, "Shelters often turn to rescues like Miranda's Rescue as a last resort for these harder-to-place animals. We accept animals from shelters throughout Northern California and provide shelter services to local communities without their own facilities. Miranda's Rescue is a no-kill rescue. We do not euthanize animals simply to make space. However, as we state on our website, there are rare circumstances in which euthanasia may be necessary."
During the search, investigators found a location inside a barn where they believe the dogs were killed, and according to the sheriff's office, 600 dog collars were found in the same area.
No charges have been filed, and the sheriff's office said once they complete their investigation, if they believe there is sufficient evidence to support the allegations, the case will be forwarded to the district attorney for review and consideration.
A news conference will be held on Monday at 2 p.m. by the sheriff's office to provide more information.
