If you're in southern Mo. did you hear about this today? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ogs-tiger.html The 1st story I found said 150 dogs, but the second story said it is 200 dogs, and the rescue will continue into tonight & tomorrow - so I wonder if it will even be more. I pray these rescues keep getting busted. But these people have not been arrested

| Yes, I saw this all over the news this morning. They said the St Louis Humane Society is able to handle all of these rescues but they have cages stacked all over the hallways. Wow I just called the Humane Society to volunteer to help with the rescue animals and got a message that said there are thousands of applications for the Yorkies and it may take several days until they can call back. Maybe they need volunteers to help with the phone calls ever more. I hope this is just the beginning of the puppy mill busts in Missouri. I just can't believe this is finally happining. Thank God!

| I sure hope the hearing that was scheduled for today is still on, and that maybe by the end of the day we'll hear something. |

| The hearing scheduled for this morning was cancelled because the dogs were turned over to the Humane Society. Darrell Moore prosecuting attorney wants more medical evaluations on the dogs before a decision on charges are made. News-Leader.com So I guess we wait. |

| Sad update on these yorkies Kennel dogs receiving treatment | News-Leader.com | Springfield News-Leader Kennel dogs receiving treatment Three terriers put down; more need rehabilitation. Mike Penprase • News-Leader • February 19, 2009 Three of 93 Yorkshire terriers taken from a Greene County kennel last week have been euthanized because they were in such bad shape, the Humane Society of Missouri said Wednesday. The dogs were put down because fur matting was so severe that it cut blood circulation to their legs and, in one dog, to its jaw, Humane Society spokeswoman Jeane Jae said . Several other dogs face having legs amputated, she said. "Some of the matting was so bad they couldn't bend their legs," Jae said . "Some of them will recover," Jae said. Other dogs have less- serious injuries from matting but need rehabilitation that could take weeks, she said. The dogs were taken to St. Louis after a raid on the kennel on Farm Road 26 was carried out by the Humane Society and the Greene County Sheriff's Office. About 100 pounds of fur and what Jae described as "nasty stuff" was shaved from the dogs , and they will need further grooming. Interest in adopting the dogs remains so high that the society is asking people to use a Web site to apply to adopt them, Jae said. "We have been inundated with phone calls, so much that it has affected our phone system," she said. The Humane Society intends to push for the prosecution of the people who kept the dogs, Jae said. The Greene County prosecutor's office indicated Wednesday that charges are pending and that the case remains under investigation.

| Yorkiesmiles, Did you see the video from the Humane Society when they had shaved down the dogs? Oh my God, one baby could not bend it's hind leg and the front nailswere I swear two inches long. What more does this Darrell Moore need to press charges. It's hard for me to wrap my mind around the horrible cruelty these little ones had to endure. |

Charges decision awaits evaluation on dogs, Moore says | News-Leader.com | Springfield News-Leader Charges decision awaits evaluation on dogs, Moore says By Mike Penprase • mpenprase@news-leader.com • February 20, 2009 Greene County Prosecuting Attorney Darrell Moore is waiting for a medical evaluation of Yorkshire terriers seized from a kennel last week before considering filing charges against the dogs' owners. No timetable was given on the filing of charges, with the prosecutor's office indicating reports from veterinarians on the conditions of the dogs will play a role. Reports from the Greene County Sheriff's Office and the Humane Society of Missouri in St. Louis also have to be reviewed. The humane society has said it wants charges filed on behalf of all the dogs taken from the north Greene County kennel last Friday. Although 93 dogs were taken, three of the animals suffering from medical problems linked to severe matting of their fur were destroyed, according to the humane society. A disposition hearing set for today to determine who gets possession of the dogs was cancelled. The hearing was called off because the dogs' owners have turned the animals over to the humane society, according to the prosecutor's office.

And the one I saw from the Human Society was this one - which is very informative for people who do not understand a puppy mill situation

| Oh, those poor babies. I hope those puppy mill owners get what they deserve. So much filth. Did you see that filthy water in the bowl? Disgusting.

| It may be because you're a newbie - there are some different things here in the News section - like you can't start a thread in this section unless you meet certain requirements - I don't remember what they are though - but I remember having trouble early on
