Yes...it looks like there are people who are interested in adopting the dogs out. I wonder how many are going to be adoptable?? 122 dogs is A LOT of pups to adopt out. I hope that some rescues step up and offer to take some of the dogs. Maybe a sanctuary will step up and offer to take the harder cases that need some work before adopting.

How sad is it that people get away with the cruel treatment of animals?!? OK....so maybe you get in over your head with 20, 30, or 40 of them....but 122 of them????

If the person was a hoarder, I'd have more sympathy for them...because at least their heart could have been in the right place...but a puppy miller is just in it for the money. If I had 122 dogs that were outside freezing, I'd bring them in my house. I wouldn't leave them to die outside.

I don't understand why there aren't tougher laws against these people. It really irritates me that the USDA is coming down on the smaller breeders, while it gives these big breeders a free pass. Why not sink their money and efforts in combating the puppy mill problem instead of wasting their time messing with the smaller breeders. Unfortunately, since there are such minimal repercussions for such treatment of animals, there's not much deterrent to stop people from abusing these animals.....
