| I just saw on the news that they already have received 600 adoption applications for the 350 puppies at the Allegan County Humane Society. Their site crashed a couple of times and the out pour of donations and support has be overwhelming.

| That's wonderful. I've seen some of them on TV and they look so sweet and adorable. Some they said have dental problems. We thought about adopting one but I may have to have back surgery and it wouldn't be fair to a new puppy. I'm glad they have so many applications to chose from

| Good! Keep shutting then down. Part of the punishment should be that if found guilty the perps can never own another animal of any kind. |

| I just went to a local rescue with a friend this afternoon to pick up her foster puppy. Get this...the puppies were from ANOTHER rescue place in a bordering city and there were dead dogs & dead cats in the house these pups were taken from. And unknowing people surrendered there animals there because the home was listed as a rescue....sick. The pups bellies were swollen with worms, but their ribs and hips are sticking out . The local rescue is also expecting some small dogs from the 350+ Allegan dogs saved. Everything I've seen lists them a Shih Tzu but the local rescue says there are a few small breeds including yorkies.

| From what I have seen of the puppy mill industry some back yard breeders find out that they can make more and more "easy" money if they increase their breeding. They do make connections with pet stores and make some sales but they continue to sell to the general public as well. They are not picky. Whoever gives them the money they sell to. Of course things get out of hand due to their greed and they end up with a filthy mess. It seems like the case for this recent puppy mill bust. It was a small house filled with tons of mostly Shih Tzu's. Some were covered in filth. Just awful. The thing that really got to me about this one was the fact that the owners told the press that the dogs were not sick. I guess filthy meant nothing to them. |

| Update The couple that ran this puppy mill was just sentenced to two months in jail. No fine was mentioned in the news report.

| 2 months? So a paid vacation at the taxpayers expense? That's laughable. What about their ability to own pets again? I don't feel like they should be allowed to own any animal for the rest of their lives.

| They had 1300 adoption applications for the 350 puppies. So at least they should have been able to find good homes.
