A neighbor says the woman, Loretta Stevens, called her and said she had been attacked by a pack of dogs. The neighbor said Stevens had severe injuries to her arm.
Folger says the dogs belong to a neighbor, Chris Pope, who will face charges of harboring a vicious animal once he's located.
The sheriff said no one was living at the home where the dogs were caged.

The sheriff said those dogs were recently returned to Pope by a Boyle County judge after they had been seized because of animal cruelty charges.
Another article says Chris Pope pleaded guilty to amended charges in an animal cruelty investigation.
The sheriff says a pack of seven dogs attacked the woman in the Julian Lane area. He says deputies rounded up five of the dogs, but could not find the last two. Deputies later found one of the dogs, but the second dog was still on the loose as of noon.
Folger would not elaborate on the extent of the victim's injuries. He said his deputies had to carry her to the ambulance because those dogs were still on the property and had surrounded paramedics.
The sheriff also said if anyone sees that last dog to call 911. Do not try to catch it.
