| puppy mill ? Where do you go to report puppy mills. there is a woman in Bulverde, TX .When we were looking for a yorkie. I got her name from the interet. she had a breeder she was retiring. We got her but she was in horrible shape all her teeth were gone. her back leg is numb from being in a cage I am asumming now. but she has about 6to 10 diffent breeds and she cross breed them as well. she had cockers, king charles, yorkies, silkies, s**t zue, haveneese, papillions, pugs, poms, you name it she had them. she probably had close to 200 dogs.

| Start with her county's local humane society. Also loop in the sheriff's office of the county she is in. That said, things are about to get MUCH harder for stopping puppy mills in Texas. There was a bill passed in the last lesiglature session that takes effect on 9/1. SB408 updated the due process language in the section of Texas law that deals with animal cruelty cases (Sect 821). Before this amendment, the owner had appeal rights against a seizure if the animal was being put up for sale, but not if it was going to be give to an animal rescue or euthanized. Now, the appeal applies to any seizure. Under the new language, the owner must put up a bond to care for the animals during the appeal process which must be complete within 25 calendar days. But, elsewhere in Texas law it states that if you can't afford an appeal bond, the judge can waive the requirement for the bond -- meaning that all of the costs can be put on the organization running the temporary shelter. I fear that means that organizations like Humane Societies will have to think harder and be more selective about which puppy mills they go after. Please folks -- regardless of where you live, stop what you are doing and write to your state representatives TODAY. Tell them that you don't accept that the rights of the puppy mill operators are more important than the rights of the animals. Tell them that cruelty can never be condoned or permitted in the name of profitability. Unless we can drown out the voices of folks like "Responsible Pet Owners of Texas", and lobby groups that feel that animals are chattel and the owners can do whatever they feel like, we are going to see an end to seizures instead of an end to puppy mills. |

| Bulverde Quote:
The Bulverde, Texas, City Code provides for inspection in cases like this. The property would have to be under the jurisdiction of the City. (If it is outside, then the County Sheriff would probably be the person to notify. The non-emergency number for the Comal County sheriff is 830-620-3400.) Sec. 2.02.013 Inspection of animals and premises Upon reasonable suspicion of animal abuse, mistreatment, neglect, or the existence of a harmful or nuisance condition, animals and premises where animals are kept or maintained shall be subject to inspection by the animal control officer, at any reasonable hour, or, in cases of emergency, at any hour. I can’t find a number for the animal control officer. The city website shows this number for the police department’s code enforcement officer (Steve Simpson) who can direct you to the animal control officer, if it is someone else. 830-438-3612, X 216 If they don’t have the proper USDA kennel license, that would be an option. Post back if you don’t get results, and we’ll find someone else to report it to. | |

| Yeah, I am so happy to hear they have been arrested and will not be getting the dogs back. I hope this sends clear message out there so that other people will stop running these type of places. I am so proud of the state of Texas for coming down on animal cruelty! (my home state ) |

| Congratulations Texas... Hopefully high puppymill states will see that other states (judges) are willing to stand up against these horrible conditions animals are kept in. I think it would be great if people would send notes to the judge thanking him for doing what was right for these animals.
