| Illegal Puppy Mill Found Inside Bucks Co. Home Illegal Puppy Mill Found Inside Bucks Co. Home - cbs3.com Illegal Puppy Mill Found Inside Bucks Co. Home UPPER MAKEFIELD, Pa. (CBS 3) ― Officials from the Bucks County SPCA removed 46 Yorkies, including nine puppies, from an unoccupied home in Upper Makefield. The Bucks County SPCA is pursuing charges against the owners of the dogs. A neighbor contacted police after they heard barking coming from the Newtown home. Officials from the Bucks County SPCA said they found an illegal puppy mill inside the home. "This is the one we know about and there are others that we don't know about," Anne Irwin of the Bucks County SPCA said. Anyone in Pennsylvania with over 26 dogs must obtain a kennel's license and they must abide by a set of guidelines that includes cage size requirements. Officials at the Bucks County SPCA said no kennel license was present for the 46 dogs found inside the home. The home owner's relatives would periodically feed the dogs, but the home did not have running water and the dogs lived in overcrowded conditions. Irwin said some full-grown dogs were kept in bird cages. The owners of the dogs have come forward to police, but no charges have been filed. So far, the dogs have not been officially checked out by a veterinarian, but to the naked eye, they seem healthy enough for adoption. Officials from the Bucks County SPCA said approximately 300 people have called about adopting the dogs.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | Irwin said some full-grown dogs were kept in bird cages. Thank God approx some 300 people have called to inquire about adopting these helpless babies. I know there are adult yorkies involved, but to me, they are ALL helpless precious babies!! I'm just so thankful they were finally rescued!
