Dogs discovered with skin and dental issues include toy poodle mixes, pomeranians, chihuahuas and yorkies

More than 100 dogs were rescued from an apparent puppy mill in North Carolina where they were kept in “egregious conditions”, an animal shelter said.

The SPCA of Wake county on Wednesday removed 101 dogs from a home that appeared to have been functioning as a puppy mill. In a statement online, the shelter said that the dogs had been “surrounded by their own waste, packed 5 or 6 to a cage and stacked floor to ceiling, or free roaming in cramped quarters and filth”.

The shelter, working alongside Raleigh animal control, also said that there had been numerous mother dogs with very young nursing puppies, adding that 19 of those dogs were now in SPCA Wake’s care.

    you would think so, by dalmatian apparently tend to be rare breeds to be owned, because they are high energy dogs.

      I’ve owned two. One was a female and was indeed high energy. The other was a male and was a very chill dog. Not high-strung at all. 🤷‍♂️
