(Oct. 2) - All but one of the dogs seized in the Michael Vick dog fighting case will be placed with families or put in a sanctuary where they will interact with people to overcome their fear and lack of socialization, according to court order filed Monday.

The Fate of the Dogs

Contractors with the U.S. Department of Agriculture evaluated the 49 canines seized in the Michael Vick case. One is to be put to death because it is too aggressive with humans, court records said. The others will go to families or to an animal sanctuary for socialization.

Michael Vick pleaded guilty in August to conspiracy charges related to dog fighting.
