Puppy mill shut down

1 comment



Did anyone see on Nancy Grace last night about the police and Animal welfare groups help to raid a puppy mill and rescue 800 dogs and 84 exotic birds? All the animals were living in trailer with the owners who by the way are in their 60's. They even had dogs that were dead and some with their paws chewed off. This was just incredible. The sad part except for the dogs is that the maxium setence they can get in AZ is a $2500. fine and 6 months in jail since its only considered a misameaner NOT a felony

I'm a longtime Tucson resident, but I was out of town when I heard about this. I immediately made a donation to the Southern Arizona Humane Society and passed on the word (actually, that's how I found ZooToo, on their site). From what I've read, the case is being considered a hoarding case, which is a psychological problem that some people get from being abandoned themselves as children. The couple were overwhelmed and cooperative with the authorities. I have a friend who has offered use of her dog runs to foster some of the dogs, and I have another friend who is looking into adopting one of the crested pups.
