Killingsworth has dozens of the animals.
There are more legal problems for a Lakeland man who keeps a large number of wolfdogs at his home.

The city filed contempt of court papers against George Killingsworth Wednesday because he hasn't followed through on a legal deal to remove the dogs from his home.
 
The city and some neighbors consider the dogs to be a safety problem. Two of Killingsworth's wolfdogs got loose in April and killed a neighbor's dog.

Killingsworth's friend, Rhonda White, says he is still trying to find homes for the dogs.

"There's breeders out there," said White. "Maybe if they just knew. Maybe we could turn this into a positive. The coverage. If there is anybody out there. If you breed hybrid wolfs, get ahold of somebody."

Judge Robert Doyel will consider the contempt of court allegations on Monday in Bartow.
