Some of the dogs being held at "Camp Husky" at the Anselmo Mine were transported last weekend to a new shelter on South Arizona Street.Robert Edwards Jr. of Silver Bow Properties said the dogs are being housed at the former Stewart's Transmission building at 102 -106 S. Arizona St. These are the dogs that were seized by the county last month from a man accused of hoarding the animals in filthy and unhealthy conditions.The county has been housing and caring for more than 100 dogs in the hoist house of the mine since they were seized more than a month ago.Edwards said he received permission from the building's owner, John Richen, to lease the building to the county to house the dogs.Edwards, who also is a member of Butte's Historic Preservation Commission, said it's important to get the dogs out of the hoist house for the sake of the animals and the integrity of the historic building."The historic nature of that space was at risk," Edwards said about the hoist house.Butte's Animal Services has been looking for an alternate location to keep the dogs before the weather turns cold. Phyllis Ruana, the county's animal services director, said earlier this month that it would be difficult to keep the hoist house warm during the harsh winter.Edwards is leasing the South Arizona Street building to the county for $1 a month. The Butte Council of Commissioners is expected to approve the lease Wednesday at its regular meeting.The new facility has about 3,200 square feet and about 2 acres of fenced-in yard. Edwards said the building has heat and running water available.Edwards said all the dogs will be moved from the mine yard to the new building this week.The county may not adopt the dogs yet, because of the pending criminal charge in this case.Phillip Brode, 60, was arrested Oct. 5 after the bus he was driving broke down at the Rocker truck stop and investigators discovered more than 100 malnourished dogs, according to court documents. He pleaded not guilty Nov. 6 to felony aggravated cruelty to animals, and remains jail on $10,000 bond.— Reporter John Grant Emeigh may be reached via e-mail at john.emeigh@lee.net or by telephone, 496-5511
