| puppymill TOPS she will only get 1000 fine? That is SCREWED up! Her butt should go to jail! She should live without a bath, her hair ratted up, and covered in maggots in a little cage! This country needs to be worse on puppymills than this! |

| Oh man that place looked so gross... That person should be made to live the same way she made those poor dogs live... How sad. Did you see that poor dog that was going around in a circle? It was after the lady told the circle story. If I lived near there, I would RUN to get one!! Poor babies...

| I heard that for just ONE count of animal cruelty you could get a 1000 dollar fine, but SIXTY something?!?!!? She better get more, that was horrible! They were all SOOOO precious! I cannot believe things like this happen. It was so sweet to hear that she had made every single one of them a sweater, but heartbreaking to hear they didn't even know how to walk... Thanks for sharing this video, stuff like this shouldn't happen and people need to know that it is. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I know I'm so thankful they were all rescued ...I can't help it, I want one now! lol

That EVIL B***h has a special place waiting for her - people like that will get what they deserve one day - I have to believe that...what goes around comes around what a joy for those babies to be saved - We need MORE busts like that in this country - no dog should EVER have to live in that kind of hell.

| This is an update on rescued Yorkies. They were all adopted Eyewitness News brought you the story of 60 puppies that were victims of a puppy mill owner in Pahrump. They were kept in horrible conditions and had numberous problems. As of Friday afternoon, the Southern Nye County Friends of Animals tells us all the dogs have been adopted. (Nov. 23) -- Nye County Animal Control has shutdown a puppy mill, and now the owner is facing 68 counts of animal cruelty. Eyewitness News has the exclusive story. The conditions inside the Pahrump home were so deplorable; it is amazing that these dogs survived. Vie Keller with the Southern Nye County Friends of Animals says of a Yorkie, "I named him Caesar because when I met him he had the heart of a Caesar. He was meant to live." It is a miracle that this little Yorkie, or the 64 others now at the Southern Nye County Friends of Animals, are alive. Vie Keller says, "When we discovered him, his leg was hanging by just a narrow thread. And it was full of maggots and if you held him, the maggots would fall on the floor." His hair was so matted that his rescuers believe he chewed his leg to the bone. It had to be amputated. Vie Keller says, "He'd come hobbling up with that leg to greet you." It is unbelievable to think that it was the same Yorkie who was living in deplorable conditions at a Pahrump home for years. In all, 68 dogs, most of them Yorkies and Silkys, were stacked through out the house in cat-size cages. They were living in their feces with matted hair, ear and eye infections, and only let out to breed. Debbie Pemberton with Nye County Animal Control says, "We've seen neglect and cruelty cases before, but this rates pretty high on our scale." The dogs' owner, 57-year-old Tana Nass, was cited for 68 counts of animal cruelty and was evicted from the home. Her two grandchildren were removed from her care. It took 8 hours and a HazMat team to remove the dogs to their new home at the shelter. One of the board members there has gone home each night and knitted a sweater for each of the Yorkies. That's because when they were finally groomed, they were cold from losing all their hair. The owner of the puppy mill, Tana Nass, faces a $1,000 fine, 48 hours of community service and whatever else the judge finds necessary. Nass also faces welfare and check fraud charges.
