| Update on the puppymill!! The investigator just called me back! They searched this ladys house yesterday and found 27 dogs inside her home (2 were puppies) and 40 dogs in kennels outside!! She's been fined over 7,000.00 dollars for not having licenses to breed, kennel license, dog tags, rabies shots ect. She is only allowed 4 dogs in her home..that is the max in Waynesboro, VA. She has a week to downsize before the ASPCA will come and and just take. The investigator told me that the reason no one has turned her in her neighborhood is that all her family lives beside her in other homes. So, they weren't going to rat her out. The investigator told me that if or when they take any dogs or puppies, they'll call my husband and I to come and get what we want. I have gotten several emails from ppl on here wanting a dog/puppy and I'll definitely keep you updated. She has a week, so we'll know something next week. YAYY! I'm soo happy! They have the community involved too. He said the lady unlocked everything (They took cops and a warrant just in case) and was super nice. I guess she has appointments at a local vet tomorrow to get all the dogs up to date on shots and get them vacinated for Rabies. The ASPCA is following her to the vet to make sure it's done! Thank God, those dogs are going to be placed in better homes!

| Yeah, YT member strikes again! One by one, pup by pup, we CAN make a difference. I would love to adopt one if you need me too, I live in KY but could make the trip. Keep me in mind if any of those poor babies need a forever home!

| Way to go! You've done a wonderful thing! Now will they follow up to make sure she doesn't just stash the dogs somewhere until the heats off? And if she gets licensed, does that mean she can keep doing what she's been doing, or will they monitor her? All those poor babies! Keep us posted!
