posted 9:54 am Sun September 16, 2007 - Little Rock
An Arkadelphia couple is accused of animal cruelty after more than 90 dogs, cats and birds were found abandoned in a U-Haul in Little Rock.
Forty-two-year-old Johnny Franklin Maynard and 54-year-old Sharon Ann Maynard are to appeal in court on 172 animal cruelty charges. The charges include neglect and failure to provide medical aid. Volunteers and Little Rock Animal Shelter staffers worked overnight Friday evaluating the conditions of the animals.
Purebred Chihuahuas, Pekingese, poodles and terriers were among the menagerie, along with cats and birds.
Shelter director Tracy Roark says the truck had broken down and been abandoned at least two days.
