"On Thanksgiving evening, firefighters from Ashland City and Pleasant View Fire Departments in Ashland City, Tennessee, were responding to a brush fire when they discovered a large number of dogs chained outside on the property.
Firefighters called Cheatham County Animal Control, who arrived and found 65 dogs – mostly Pit Bulls and Beagles - at the residence. The dogs were all without food or fresh water, needing medical attention and appeared to have been part of a suspected dog fighting operation."

"In a press release put out by Animal Rescue Corps, they indicated the dogs were all underweight with sores covering their bodies and displaying signs of internal parasites. ARC president Scotlund Haisley said, "We believe this is the largest dog fighting rescue in Tennessee history. The conditions Animal Rescue Corps found on this property are the worst I have ever seen at a dog fighting operation in my 22 year career in animal protection." "
