Here is what the humane soceity's website says about animal cruelty. Are there any breeders out there with any advise? What do you do about breeders who don't care about their puppies? The lady is asking $500 cash only in Illinois. I will get the puppy I rescued vet checked. If anyone wants to rescue her 3 brothers in Springfield, IL. Also, if anyone knows if this is something to call SPCA on, let me know.

Animal cruelty encompasses a range of behaviors harmful to animals, from neglect to malicious killing. Most cruelty investigated by humane officers is unintentional neglect that can be resolved through education. Intentional cruelty, or abuse, is knowingly depriving an animal of food, water, shelter, socialization, or veterinary care or maliciously torturing, maiming, mutilating, or killing an animal.
