| Puppy Mill we adopted our abbey 2.5 yrs ago..decided on Feb 14th..she needed a buddy. went to the same kennel and had appt..etc. we asked if we could walk thru kennel..he said NO. he brought out a 8wk puppy which we took home..asked to see parents..he said NO. this man has been in a wheelchair for yrs..and his adult kids helped out. when we got in the car we rolled windows down as puppy smelled! Got home..bathed her and TRIED to crate her. she squealed like a pig. took her out and she was shaking so bad. took her out and placed her on grass and she backed up..which she still does 5 months later. Last week headline in our NC paper was " 300 pups taken from puppy mill" Yep...to our dismay..same kennel we got 2 pups from. Now we've learned that in the last 2 yrs..his kids left home and he was alone. He admitted he never cleaned the pens..that he threw his table scraps in pens "sometimes" and no health care even though he guart. a 2 yr health warranty. The police said most of these pups lived in a crate ..size of a cat carrier..the Mom and litter and couldnt even turn around..they had never been out dog crate..never felt a human touch...IF they had water dish..water as filthy with poop in it. We had taken our baby to Vet Immed and she had 2 parasites..1 transferred from Mom and other from dirty water with poop in it. Called him and he said to send Vet Bills and he'd reimburse..he didnt. North Carolina has NO laws for Animal Cruelty...this man was breeding for greed and will get away with it. Our baby is weary of grass so is being trained on wee-pads which is going good. She still tried to eat her poop..so have to watch her close! She's so loving and delightful and we're blessed we got her outa there! police said alot of Mom's were in crate with the litter and had been dead for awhile...police said "overbreeding" Just had to share..if you want to read the article charoltteobserver.com |

| puppy mill thank you for posting that link..think I mis-spelled! before we found..I had driven to Pa..an 8 hr drive in thunderstorm *(!) with both pups. few hrs after arriving..I suffered a mild heart attack. Pups were at my daughters..while I spent a week in hospt. every day my daughter would complain that Peanut cried so hard when she tried to crate her..peanut wouldnt go on grass..had to be carried on pavement..etc...she cried when being brushed now we know why! Peanut has gotten use to feel of grass and runs thru it..she walks up and down brick steps now,,took her to groomer as 50% of her hair was matted..had it all cut off..now she doesnt fuss being brushed..just so makes sense after reading of this. Breaks my heart and I pray all those rescued pups have a wonderful life now that theyre away from him |

| Oh God these poor little babies. How in heaven's name can anyone be that cruel. Its hard to figure that people have such evil hearts they can do animals like that. I have never seen so much cruelty. I think the world has gone completely mad. I am so glad your babies are out of that horrible place and will be loved and took care of the rest of their lives. Maybe more of these precious babies can find homes too. Why oh why don't they enforce stiff laws to the point they would be afraid of doing things like this. Point being, I guess, is most people just don't give a hoot. |

| Money. that is the only reason. there is a demand for puppies and people will buy them. cruel people find the cheapest way to run a place to get the most amount of money from the "business" its sad but true, so please research a breeder carefully before you buy! glad your babies are safe and learning what real life is about. kiss them extra for us tonight. |

So when I finally stopped crying every day, I started looking on PetFinder and found a Yorkie at a local rescue, and we were selected to adopt him. Wendell is 2 years old, and had been surrendered by a family when the wife was diagnosed with a serious medical problem. They loved him dearly, and had spoiled him rotten, but realized they weren't going to be able to give him the attention he was used to while she was undergoing surgery and further treatment. The previous owner provided all of his paperwork, and was proud of the fact that he was a purebred dog from a breeder in Oklahoma. RED FLAG. But since they lived there at the time, I was hoping that she'd done her research and that he was from a reputable breeder. So I looked up the name of the breeder, Aurelia Snow, and the search came up with dozens of hits on news stories about how her kennel had been closed down last summer, her dogs were seized and she was charged with several counts of felony animal cruelty. I couldn't find any information on what happened next, but I hope she's sitting in a tiny, damp prison cell somewhere, getting little food and being forced to lie in her own excrement. (But of course American jails are much nicer than that) I don't know why, but the news hit me like a ton of bricks. After all of the information available about puppy mills, they are apparently still out there, duping unsuspecting people into thinking they are getting happy, healthy dogs raised in clean and loving environments. I was sickened to think about Wendell's parents having to endure such conditions. But then after a little more thought, I realized that this was a HAPPY ending. With a little more searching, I read that the yorkies (she bred chihuahuas, maltese and yorkies) had been turned over to OK Yorkie Rescue. And in following up with their site (isn't the Internet wonderful?) I found alot of pictures of the "before" and "after" of some of the dogs that had come from there. So his parents and their companions were rehabilitated and placed into loving homes to live out their lives as pampered companions. Wendell has several issues common to Yorkies (LP, sensitive stomach, teeth prone to tartar build up) but none of the behavioral problems that Tina had. The previous owners probably got him out of the mill early, so he was spared that at least. So I guess what I'm trying to say, is, I know how devastating it is to realize that your baby came from a puppy mill. But just keep in mind that your dog's parents are out of the hands of that despicable man, and in homes where they will be loved and spoiled, just like your little one is. | |
