ASPCA Managing Operations in Mississippi Puppy Mill Investigation

I subscribe to the ASPCA newsletter and this heading caught my eye. I looked at what breeds were in the Puppy Mill and 'lo and behold, they said they found corgis. I'm glad that the ASPCA was finally able to step in and get these animals out. Unfortunately, it looks like they were a little too late for some of the dogs.

Tim Rickey, the ASPCA Senior Director of Field Investigations and Response, says the dogs, which include small breeds such as Shih Tzus, Lhasa Apsos, Pugs, Yorkshire Terriers, Corgis and Chihuahuas, were
discovered living in feces-encrusted pens and filth. He says many of
the dogs are underweight and appear to have skin problems, among other
medical conditions. Several dead adult dogs and puppies were also
discovered.

I thought I'd post this here since some of these dogs will probably be available for adoption through the ASPCA. Hopefully someone here from the area can give these poor corgis a loving forever home!

Comment by Zach and Lisa on February 5, 2010 at 12:54pm: Who says we can't? I bet if we really wanted to get organized, open up our wallets and hearts, and put on a brave face we could do it. Or at least come as close as ever. The ASPCA doesn't have enough time or energy to devote every second looking for these. But they do take action when they have a solid lead. And that's where we come in.
