51 dogs rescued from hoarder

[brendarash]

I just saw on the news tonight that they just rescued 51 small dogs from a hoarder near Baltimore. It turns out they are yorkies and poodles. They said that they have 12 yorkies, Bless there little hearts. The rest are poodles and mix poodle and yorkie. I can not believe this. I will be at the Animal control at 930 am to try to get at least one of these babies. Some of them are tiny little ones. 3 are expecting puppies and the SPCA has those until they are old enough to go to new homes. They are charging $56.00 for females and I think the boys are $51.00. They are to be fixed before they can go to there new homes. I hope they all get the best homes. Bless there little hearts. Not sure how to post links but the story was on Baltimore Marylands channel 13 which is WJZ it happened in Pasadena Maryland. They are in Anne Arundel Co. Animal Control.

I read the article. The man said it was "breeding that got out of hand"! Yeah REALLY out of hand.
I just hope those pups find new forever homes. But I will not be getting one. I hope it goes well for you though, and you find some nice pups.

The news anchor said the dogs were in really good shape, so hopefully that will make it easier for them to get adopted.

Oh don't tell me! So sad! I'll end up a hoarder myself!
No seriously I don't understand hoarders...how do you even know all their names and not realize you are denying them the one on one attention they need...let alone I have a hard enough time working on training with 3! Okay 2 are special needs they count as two each so 5 is a serious limit for me LOL.

Wow, 51 dogs! Those poor, precious babies. I hope they all find wonderful,loving homes.

Gosh I wonder who turned them in. If I were closer I would get one, good thing I am not I might would even take 2.

I got up at 6am this morning to go about 45 minutes away to look into adopting a new baby. I made a mistake and layed back down for a few minutes, I Woke up at a little before 10 am. I called Animal Control to see if they had a big turn out and they told me they had a line around the building. They said they would all be spoken for in about 30 minutes. I decided I would look into adopting one of the puppies once they are ready for there new home. Just wanted to update everyone.

Wow poor babies but at least they were found. I wonder what goes on in animal hoarders head. I wish I was closer.

Hoarding happens slowly, a pet here and there, and finally too many to care for properly. Sometimes I even worry about people here who yearly add to the pets. Are they going to have the money to properly care for the dogs as they age?

Let alone the minimums of care: cost of feeding 51 dogs a proper diet, flea meds, heat worm meds, supplements all for 51 dogs, the effort in cleaning up after them, basic training, and quality and adequate time spent per dog...ye then can you imagine the personal expenses just in commonly spread disses-even just eye or ear infections and the antibiotics, vaccinations, and yearly health checks...I've never walked out of the vet's office without spend about $100 on one dog at a time...

Exactly, I think all dogs should go in for a well baby check-up once a year, checking teeth, heart worm tests, and any necessary shots, and you're right $100.00 is minimum and that's if everything check out okay. I think Joey's last check up was $230.00, but if you have multiple dogs, it can really add up, and people decide to forgo those yearly checkups, which leads to more serious problems, and even more expense to treat.
