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.
I always see signs around “puppies for sale @ xyz” or listed with a phone number, or camped out in a busy parking lot with a puppy pen out. It enrages me so fucking much because there’s nothing I can do about it
