The shame of backyard breeders and puppy mills!

This is an acceptable facet of "rural culture?" Surely not! Warning: disturbing photo
Injured, abused, and neglected animals of Hamilton Texas

In Montague and Kaufman (Texas) Counties, 2 puppy mills were raided and 1,100 animals removed from horrendous conditions.  In Hamilton (Texas) we have our own little version of puppymill hell....

Look closely, you'll see the animals in their cages.

The story of "Buffy"
(photos below)

     Buffy was sold as a young schnauzer, about a year old, no papers, with a minor eye problem.  Conjunctivitis the puppymill owner said...an ailment that could be easily cured with over the counter medications, she continued. 

     Turned out Buffy's eye was rotting in her head and had to be removed immediately.  How long did she suffer?  Couldn't her eye have been saved by seeking timely medical help?  END THE SUFFERING~

     Buffy's story has a happy ending.  We will be posting her new photo, the one of her clean, groomed and ready for adoption--maybe you are interested in adopting Buffy!  Call us today!  Yes, she's minus an eye but she has heart!

UPDATE:  BUFFY IS ADOPTED!

The matting is cut off, the eye socket is clean, and Buffy has a second chance at a wonderful life!

Buffy's new family brought her by to visit!

THIS IS A PUPPY MILL

Please!  Reconsider purchasing your "best friend" from pet stores, along the roadside, or from backyard breeders.  Professional breeders are savvy about confirmation, hereditary health issues (is the pup's breed predisposed to hip dysplasia, skin conditions, eye problems?  Any number of health issues can be linked to particular breeds (because of indiscriminantly poor breeding on the part of backyard breeders--they have polluted pure bred gene pools).  Professional breeders recognize corrupted bloodlines and work diligently to exclude those from their breeding programs.  Your $250. pup could end up costing you thousands of dollars in health care.  Know your breeder, visit their facility, ask for references. 
 
 
 
 
 

six chihuahuas and a bull mastiff were seized

for neglect. Underweight and gross hair loss

Underweight and suffering hair loss.

You cannot even tell the little Chihuahuas' colors...they've lost so much hair.  The veterinarian we took them to said their care was so neglectful their hair and teeth were falling out.  Too sad.  The Mastiff was in sorry shape as well.

But!  We'll feed them premium food and give them health care, something they've likely never had...and then they'll be offered for adoption!  Six little Chihuahuas, cute, cute, cute.  And a Bull Mastiff!  

HAPPY TO TELL YOU ALL--EVERYONE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!  MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
