Dogs that were rescued during a Hardin County animal cruelty case will officially be cared for by the Hardin County Animal Shelter.

Hardin County Government said in a release Friday that the 14 dogs, who have been cared for by the shelter since May of 2023, will be awarded to the shelter as a result of Morgan Jade Barrick’s conviction on Animal Torture charges.

Hardin County Animal Care and Control Director Mike McNutt said the animals will remain under the care of the shelter until all necessary veterinary services including microchipping, spaying, and neutering are performed. McNutt said the dogs will not be available for public viewing until they are ready for adoption.

The jury that found Barrick guilty recommended a two-year prison sentence. Hardin Circuit Judge John David Simcoe will formally sentence Barrick at a later date.
