RICHLAND COUNTY, SC (WIS) - To follow up on the fate of pit bulls seized in a Richland County dog-fighting ring, Friday we found out all of the dogs are going to be rehabilitated and they are going to try and get them all ready for adoption.
Earlier this week, you saw the temperament tests the dogs were put through. That's the test that determines whether the dogs are safe enough to go to a new home.
Maximus failed the test. But Friday, workers say he is going to get a second chance. They are going to continue to show Maximus love and hope that his young age will help in turning him around.
Oreo bit the fake hand when workers took food from him during the test. He will be tested again in two weeks. Workers are hoping by then Oreo won't be as starved for food and will pass the test.
As for Carmella and Chance, they passed the test with the highest scores. They have been neutered and will be placed in foster care homes first. Then workers plan to have them both up for adoption by April.
Pixie and Brownie also passed the test, but are going to need some more time before they are placed in a foster home. Workers say the two pups are just so nervous around any type of human contact, so they will continue to undergo "people contact training."
Workers are hoping to test Pixie and Brownie again at the end of March.
