I understand they don't want the dogs to end up in bad hands, and they probably don't want to go through screening processes that adoption agencies do, but would it really hurt if they could just adopt them out to people, not via rescues? Their going to kill the babies anyway. Sometimes I really don't understand how heartless people can be. And if they are going to kill them, can't they atleast show the animals some sort of love or affection their last 5 days...and only 5 days! Don't even get me started on that...so if your dog is missing, and they find your dog, there's only 5 days for you to contact them? I'm sure most owners would contact every shelter, animal control, rescue, etc. on the first day, but what if you contacted them on the 6th day? Like what if you lived far, and didn't think your pet would wander that far...could you imagine "oh yeah sorry we destroyed that animal yesterday"...UGH makes me sick..I have to get out of this thread now.

I so agree with this! What is so difficult in adopting out the dogs if someone wants to adopt and you are going to put them to sleep. I think they deserve a second chance. And really what if the owners are looking for them? 5 days? That is way too short.

The place was HORRIBLE! Urine and feces everywhere!! We washed the dogs when we got home- looked like sludge we washed out so much urine etc. Also, many other dogs in this place. Leticia has also changed her story many times. They are from a kennel, a breeder, were dropped off, she went and rescued them...Something is not right. She is also hagling on the price- Shelters have set fees, this place origianlly said $250, she gave us 2 dogs for $200. They had NO shots, some were not altered despite the posting on petfinder that they were all altered, only 1 was, no current shots. They have a bulldog posted that says its altered and you can see his "stuff" in the picture!!! He was not there Sunday- so he has been aquired recently.
I think this lady is the one running the puppy mill!!!!!

Do you know???.......I just checked PetFinder and they only show 1 dog now at the Osceola shelter so does that mean ALL 6 of the yorkies are gone? Thx.

I'm not sure about the Yorkies. I was the one involved with calling there Monday. The story I got was that these were puppymill drop offs. She said that they encourage the mills to drop them off there rather then just dispose of them. At the time I was also told that these were not the dogs in danger of being put to sleep but rather the dogs at the Springfield shelter. I inserted the link. That particular place is strictly a kill shelter and they do not adopt out to the public - only to four rescues. At the time Laticha told me if any of the rescues I knew were interested to let her know. Every day they have so many new dogs listed and these poor things only have five days to be taken by a rescue or they are put down. In so far as Laticha. I really do not know what to say. I don't know her but someone posted a nice article about her and she seemed genuinly concerned over the dogs. In so far as being a terribly place / filthy. I'm sure they are doing the best they can there. There is very limited funding etc. I do believe though that these dogs should be spayed or neutered prior to being adopted or they are just put in the same situation they had been in - breeding. Let's hope that what the other poster said is not true and that she is not running her own mill. That would be a terrible thing. Elaine

does anyone know if they will give them to a rescue if the don't get adopted? Our Rescue wouid gladly take them.
I think it would be horrible of them to put them down, and not give them to a recue. There are enough dogs being put down.

As for these yorkies, I know it may be too late. However, if it is not or if you still need help. Let us know.

We will be willing to adopt but MO is far from our location in Washington, PA.

If there is a place where one of you who are going to save these doggies can meet us or train them our way, just let me know.
