A 13-year-old boy is facing multiple felony charges after he broke into an animal shelter and poisoned several dogs, police said.
"It was late hours when we found out about it after he called himself in and said what he did, so he was still on scene," said Jerome Police Capt. Anthony Gratzer.
"He let all the dogs out; and the thing is, when dogs come off the streets or as owner surrenders, some of them are dog-to-dog aggressive or dog-to-people aggressive," Howe explained. "We are extremely lucky that we didn't have any aggressive dogs that would have attacked the kid or attacked the other dogs. We had to chase down a couple of them off the streets.
Since the dogs are doing well, Howe said they will be headed to a rescue next week. They will go to Spokane, Washington, to have a second chance at adoption.
