500 Dogs Taken from Kennel

These are small dogs according to the news
Volunteers are caring for nearly 500 dogs that authorities seized from a kennel near Bowie.
The Montague County Sheriff's Department served search warrants Tuesday morning after receiving complaints that dogs at Maggic Pets/Heddins Kennel hadn't received proper veterinary care.
Sandy Grambort, a supervisor with the Humane Society of North Texas, said some of the dogs had skin conditions and open sores. She said not all the dogs appeared to have health problems.
Cloyce Heddins told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the dogs received proper care and authorities had bad information.
Grambort said the dogs were found in crates that were double-stacked in outbuildings, as well as in outdoor pens and kennels.
The dogs were transported to Fort Worth where a warehouse was donated to temporarily house the animals
Please help....

I saw that on the news this morning. Poor babies. I saw quite a few yorkies.

I remember seeing this person's website back some years ago when I was first looking for my little ones. I remember the prices being lowered than others, but I didn't like the "store" attitude of the site... With all the love my yorkins are capable of giving, it seems so tragic that these little ones may have never known a caring hand, soft lap or kind words and kisses. I hope these guys get a better chance at a real home.

My mother in law lives not far from there, and the last I heard it was labs that were being bred and kept poorly.... it really was yorkies too?? My husband had bought a lab from them 8 or 9 years ago....
How terrible. I pray they all can find homes....

This is sad for the homeless but great that a puppy mill got busted.

dogears · 07-11-2009, 08:02 PM

I hope they get around to busting the one here in NC DHWebsite. They sell so many

different breeds and mixes (which they call "hybrids" and state that they are so much more healthier. And now they have the audacity to have videos on youtube under the name MrIrvinBlackburn. I can't wait on the day they go down.
