HELP PUPPY MILL PUPPIES

MALTESE PUPPY-MILL PUPPIES DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP!!!

 

Over 200 dogs and a few cats, 30 of which were pregnant, were seized recently from a breeder in Tennessee. EVERY dog seized had something wrong with it. They were three and four in a cage piled high in her garage, and they had never seen the light of day. Many of the bitches had had multiple C-sections, with severe scar tissue infiltrating their reproductive organs. Three puppies and one adult dog have since died; many of the adult dogs are so old they will not live long enough to get a loving home. This breeder sold people sick and dying dogs, using the same deceptive practices over and over again. The living conditions in the breeder?s home were so deplorable, according to a local judge, her four children, including a severely handicapped child, were removed from her home, yet to be returned. Around 8 state and local agencies are involved in investigating this breeder. Around 20 names were used to register dogs with the AKC to avoid detection of her systematic abuse of these poor animals. We believe state and local taxes were not paid for several years at least. There were` possibly hundreds of puppies sold by this one breeder on several websites every year. She only had one or two people helping her with over 200 dogs at any one time, if that.

 

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THIS BREEDER MAY GET HER DOGS BACK!!!!!

 

HOW CAN YOU HELP? Go to http://malteseonly.com/forum/viewtopic.php...der=asc&start=0

and read the now 18 pages of the message board thread ?Maltese puppy mill raided? as well as http://malteseonly.com/forum/viewforum.php...bfcff4889dbd809 to read the top three threads concerning the criminal investigation of this breeder. Then, PLEASE CALL ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO MAY HAVE PURCHASED A MALTESE DOG FROM A BREEDER. If the purchase was from the breeder involved, their damages may help bring the investigation to a monetary level that will help prevent her from getting her dogs and perhaps her children back. Then, please send e-mail messages to the news agencies that have been mentioned in the thread, so we can get national attention for this story. We want to stop the puppy mill business for all breeds, not just Maltese. By making a national example not only of this breeder, but of the effort that all dog-lovers will make to put puppy mills out of business, we will put these disreputable people on notice that their practices will not be tolerated by our society.

 

You will also read about the mammoth effort of the local shelter workers and the volunteers in Tennessee. Many corporations have donated services. Thousands of dollars have been donated to the rescue effort, and thousands of hours of volunteer time have contributed to the rebirth of these neglected animals.

 

WE THANK YOU FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP THESE ANIMALS. If you ever need the assistance of the Maltese community, please know that you will have our full support.
