So, the lady that red flagged me to this whole situation is going back to the Byrd's house to try and get the other dogs. I told him if all else fails offer him $100. a dog and I will run down with the money. In the mean time here is today's rescue Miss Lady

I'm sorry, that is shocking! You can keep a dog or many dogs locked inside a tiny cage for their entire life spitting out litter after litter and that is legal? That makes me sick!

I still have Shady Girl if anyone is interested. She had her professional grooming today and Ralph has fallen in love....thought I'd share a few pictures. Ralph is a rescue that came in last month from Delaware. He was been physically abused and he now follows my daughter everywhere and as long as she is laying in bed so is Ralph.

Shady Girl is beautiful!

I had the priviledge of fostering 7 wonderful sweet babies for the last 5 days. Thanks Bonnie for allowing me to foster these babies. But Most of all I want to thank Bo for being there for me. She was here helping ever day all day helping with all the babies, making phone calls, taking pictures, and making collars and kiss e collars for these sweet babies, but we got so busy that she did not have the time to make them for the Sunday deliveries.Because when I got up in the morning I gave poor Bo 20 minutes notice That I had a road trip to go and meet/and drop off to there new Mommies and Daddies. She pick me and all 4 of the little ones up and away we went. She was my support when it came time to drop them off and leave. She knew I was getting so attached to Pogo and supported me through the whole thing. Reminding me that she was going to a good home.She was right but my heart was not understanding it. She was my back bone. Thank you so much Bo for everything you did to help me and the little ones. Taking pictures and posting them on YT calling and PM YT members about these babies. I could not of done it with out you.Bo you are the greatest. A new friend I would not of known if it was not for YT even though we live 5 minutes from each other. Also I wanted to thank the people that sent me supplies. apang29 and`pawever yorky. Thanks to both of you, that was so nice of you to send the items that you sent or said that you are sending something. Thanks again, Brenda

Dear Mrs. Johnson:

Thank you for contacting me about your support for the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act (S. 3424). It's great to hear from you.

I absolutely agree with you that we need to protect the animals from the cruel conditions in puppy mills. Whether it's supporting legislation that calls for an end to the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals or the needless duplication of research when animals are used, I've always been a strong supporter of animal rights. You can count on me to continue my efforts to encourage the humane treatment of animals.

The PUPS Act would require all breeders that sell more than fifty dogs a year to be licensed and inspected. This would also close the internet loophole that puppy mills are currently exploiting. S. 3424 is now being considered by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. I will keep your comments in mind should this legislation come before the full Senate.

Again, thanks for writing. If I can be any assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Sincerely,
Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator

I truly don't think I have been touched like I was by this story in a long time. You just decided to go out and make a difference and all of you involved made a huge difference!

How many dogs are left to be adopted out?

Nikis2 · 07-20-2010, 06:21 PM

Awwww! that was very nice of you to say. I am very happy to announce that Brenda and I have found wonderful homes for ever single 4 legged Angel we were able to rescue from that shed. Now are hopes and prayers go out to all the babies to please make a full and speedy recovery from all their medical needs due to the neglect for so long.

Patti · 07-20-2010, 06:24 PM

You all did an amazing job.

That was truly amazing what you were able to accomplish! Way to go!

WONDERFUL NEWS

...now, I hope those remaining 4 dogs make it out

Honestly, someone who has 4 small dogs and they still need to "keep" them in a shed, tells me that they should not have those dogs at all

Those poor innocent babies, they probably need dire medical care too

Ringo1 · 07-21-2010, 12:27 PM

I can't believe everything that's happened on this thread ~ and in such a short time. What a wonderful job in finding all those poor little dogs a home; I can't believe they were all living in a shed.

You all are angels on earth! And Ralph looks pretty happy with Shady Girl . . . .
