Hello everyone.
I was recently browsing the internet for a new puppy and came across a little girl listed on netdaypets.com. The lister was in Grannie Puppies and she was for a great price. I am a college student, so obviously I can't afford to spend 1k$ on a puppy, and I admit I was not aware of puppy mills or breeder standards. However, when I went to see some of the golden retriever pups she had listed, even I was disgusted at the conditions.
Norma is a very obese woman living in a mobile home with huge bird cages in her living room. I asked to see the pup and she had her "husband" bring me 2 golden retriever pups in kennels. I asked to see the conditions that the pups were in daily and she told me no. One of the pups were lethargic and had a runny nose and bad cough. The other one was quite energetic and I just fell in love with her and knew I had to get her out of those conditions. I paid 250$ to get this little girl out of those conditions, and I would do it again. She developed a slight cough the night I got her back to my home in Fayetteville (about a 60 mile drive), and I took her to the vet on Monday. The Dr said she was a good looking pup and had a slight case of kennel cough. I have been giving her antibiotics and her cough has gone away. She is an amazing pup and I love her to death, but I agree this lady is a fat, disgusting, horrible person and should be prosecuted for the conditions that she leaves her pups in.

I am close to the situation and am willing to do whatever is possible to get this lady shut down after seeing her conditions first hand. I feel like I was very lucky to get a healthy pup away from her, and absolutely love my little girl. However, her conditions are not livable for dogs and she should be shut down immediately.
