I don't want to go into too much detail here, but I was able to find out some info about "Tina's Tiny Terriers". I have also done some research and found the best way to get a puppy mill shut down. There is a list of agencies which you should report them to, and it's more effective if you do it in this order:
1 AKC (American Kennel Club)
2 Local Humane Society
3 Fraud in Ohio (typically, a person on public assistance can not have an income, or there are limits to the income they can have
Ohio Dept of Taxation
County Treasurer
Worker's Compensation
Disability Services
Welfare/Health Care/Medicaid
4 County Dept of Health
5 State Dept of Agriculture
6 Zoning Commission
7 Attorney General’s Office
8 County Auditor’s Office
9 USDA (only licenses commercial breeders, which means those who sell to pet stores or brokers)
So, let's just say that I made lots of phone calls today. One thing that really annoys me, though, is that I've also learned that Ohio has the weakest humane laws of any state in the country. They also have a high rate of puppy mills.
