Lincoln County Animal Control Caring For Hundreds Of Seized Animals

Posted: 6:53 pm EDT August 28, 2008

Animal Control teams still need towels and bedding for nearly 400 animals taken from a Denver house Tuesday.

The animals are being cleaned and evaluated at a temporary animal hospital set up in an old factory.

The director of Animal Services for Lincoln County said the animals were taken from Vicki Rauch's home because many were diseased and malnourished.

A team from across the nation has joined local workers to help rehab the animals.

“This is a full-scale major operation to take care, wash and feed (the animals),” said Jack Kerly, the Animal Services director.

Rauch has not been charged in connection to the animals’ conditions. But Eyewitness News has learned her children have been removed from the home.

Department of Social Services workers took her two small children out of the house when they saw the conditions there Tuesday. The children are now staying with relatives.

Anyone who wants to help is asked to bring bowls, blankets, towels or other bedding to the Denver Fire Department. Animal Services asks that people not donate food because some of the animals are sick or have special needs.
