JEFFERSON, Texas — A national animal rescue organization has removed about 60 dogs from an East Texas group after it was forced to close.
Animal Rescue Corps said it received a request for help from directors of Dude's Second Chance Rescue, which was operating out of a former bikini bar at the intersection of FM 726 and FM 1968 near Lake O’ the Pines.
