Alaska Dog Cruelty Case: 23 Dead, 2 Survivors

In the Matanuska, Susitsna, Burrow, up in Alaska, they've dropped an update on the Casual

Lake's animal cruelty case.

Turns out 23 dogs died, not the 25 first reported.

The Kindle had a license for 28 dogs back in January 2025, with two now in Burrow hands,

two that passed before the mess, and one that bolted earlier.

Officials say one survivor, Woody, heads to a rescue partner next week, while birdie

shifts to foster care soon.

This all blew up when those 23 dogs turned up dead, on the property April 15, leading

to charges against 35-year-old Willow.

Resident Misty Redder just six days later, on 26 counts of animal cruelty.

Neighbors have been raising red flags about the dog's condition since January, but folks

say they got brushed off by animal control and troopers told, to stay out while the probe

dragged on.

That sparked real frustration in the community, with complaints piling up that no one

stepped in fast enough to save the pack.

Now an independent investigation into how the burrow handled enforcement kicked off this

week, and it sets a roll into May for more digging.

As this plays out, I stay on those two pups finding safe homes, and what shakes loose

from the review.
