After a bust where law officers seized dozens of pit bulls, The Dodge County's Sheriff says his county like most rural counties has a dog fighting problem.
We spoke to the sheriff to find out what he says people need to do about it.
Some neighbors who live near Rozar Goolsby Road told us they do not even allow their dogs to go outside by themselves because they are afraid they would be stolen and turned into fighting dogs.
The Dodge County Sheriffs office assisted in the raid last week and Sheriff Lynn Sheffield gave us a little more insight.
"One of them took the officers back to the scene, showed him where the ring was set up and showed him where the other dogs were located," Sheriff Lynn Sheffield said.
People we spoke to in Dodge County said they have had their own dogs go missing and they have feared that it's connected to dogfighting. Sheffield said he's heard about dog fighting in Dodge for years and he believes it's happening but they've never actually found a case.
"There's always been rumors of dogfights, nothing on a regular base, nothing we have actually located," Sheffield said.
Sheffield said that he was not aware of any dog fighting going on at Rozar Goolsby road and said if you think your dog was seized in the raid his office is working on setting up a phone line.
"Were supposed to be getting a contact number for anyone who is interested in trying to check and see if their dogs were part of this sixty-something dogs", Sheffield said.
He also said people have called the sheriff's looking for information on the 63 dogs which were seized by the U.S. marshals last week but he doesn't know where they are. You can call the Oconee Drug Task Force who is helping with the investigation for more information at 1-877-448-4685.
