 Im so sorry!!!!
I just heard about this on the news lastnight and I had NO IDEA!!!! I want to apoligize to anyone that I may have given her # to. I got both of my yorkies from her and had no idea of the condition of her home. I saw the mom of both my yorkies and the litter mates of Blaze and Irene has come to my home several times to see both of my babies.
If I had none any of this I never would of even bothered to contact someone like this. I do not think she is running a puppy mill but maybe just got in over her head. She is such a sweet and loving lady.
I must say SORRY to anyone that I told to call her because had I known I never would have. All I can say is that my dogs are great and healthly. I was shocked at what I saw on the news lastnight.
Again, Im so sorry and I hope this is not held against me. I truly had no idea and I am just sick over this!
DOGS SAVED FROM CRUEL LI 'HELLHOLE'
By TOM LIDDY
May 7, 2008 -- Dozens of dogs, including a litter of newborn puppies, were rescued from a Long Island house of horrors yesterday, officials said.
Investigators from the Suffolk SPCA said they discovered 56 filthy purebred pooches stuffed into cages in the house of Irene Monroig, 66, in East Northport.
"It was a hellhole," said SPCA Chief Roy Gross, whose agency is investigating the possibility the house was a puppy mill.
"The house was in deplorable condition," he said.
Many of the dogs found in the basement - including Shih Tzus, poodles, Pekinese and Yorkies - were stuffed two or more into small cages, Gross said.
"One of the dogs was so cramped, she was stepping on her [litter of newborn] puppies," the chief added.
The dogs, as well as two squirrels and a parrot, were taken to the Huntington Animal Shelter, where they will be put up for adoption.
