68 Pitbulls seized, along with 2 children

Wichita, KS

July 25, 2006

68 pit bulls were seized from the 2300 block of East Shadybrook.  The police and SRS representatives arrived at the home to check on the welfare of 2 children.  When met at the door, they were advised that no children were in the home, although they could hear children in the back.  After obtaining a search warrant, the officers found the children and dozens of dogs.

Collins, age 32 was arrested.  The 2 children were taken into protective custody and the dogs went to the animal shelter.  Collins apparently had become a backyard breeder but it got out of control.  The dogs will remain at the shelter while the criminal case is pending.
