I’m from the same area Breann Davis is from and I could tell you some other stories about the puppy mill. She once sold a dog with parvo, to an unsuspecting buyer. They also currently have a 7 month old Labrador mix, and the daughter named it Zombador, because her mom hit it with her car and left it there to die, but to her surprise when she came home it had gotten out of the box she left it in. Then onetime she had a minature Australian Shepherd, who was pregnant when she bought it, when the mom gave birth she only had one puppy, which she killed. Instead of putting the puppy down so it wasn’t in pain she let it sit there with no legs. The sad part is that she not only breeds dogs, but also cats.

Well, Thanks for your time,
Alli

Patti and Ian McCarty have been at this a long time. I know through first hand experience. Patti McCarty (from what I see in the news) is still not in custody. I hope that the law does everything within its power to put an end to the abuse.

You dodged a bullet with your puppy, Vicky. I’m glad to hear she’s OK. Next time you’ll know better!

I don’t know what made me google Mason Creek Kennel- I purchased a pomeranian from there in 11/2009. I should have known ….she was in the small building behind the house, but I heard alot of barking coming from the buildings down further than we went. It smelled horrible, but I was not offered to go into the building. Instead, someone brought out all of the female Pomeranians they had. Our two hour trip was a smelly sickening trip indead. The more I thought about it…..I knew something wasn’t right there. After seeing this, I sure wish I had called back then- Thank God that our little one is healthy.

Your comments at the end pretty much summed it up for me. I can only hope that his email is filled with people willing to educate him on what an idiot he is and what he just taught his daughter and his readers.
Sad to say, but he is pretty typical of the average pet store puppy consumer.

Thank you! I was as appalled as you were, and I wrote about it on my blog too.

Comment on Puppy Mill Rescues & Stories by Howell Schisler

Hello Carol,

I am half way through your book and having adopted a 4 year old Cavalier female, I can’t tell you how helpful it is in helping us understand what Sophie had been through.

Sophie’s story is not unique. A local Cavalier rescue organization secured her at a puppy mill auction in Missouri. The conditions the dogs were in at the auction were disgraceful. The dogs were stressed and filthy.

Sophie spent a few weeks at an animal hospital. She lost about a 3rd of her teeth and was shaved because the foul dirt and refuse was so caked onto her. The vet guessed she was 4 and had been having litters non -stop since her first heat.

Our plan was to provide her a foster home. This was our first attempt at fostering. She arrived on a Saturday afternoon and it was love at first site. We did not know what to expect. Based on reading a number of articles about others experiences, we were expecting a scared shy dog. Unlike the typical dog in this situation, she was open to contact and enjoyed being held and petted. Within the first day we introduced her to walking on a leash. We also found she was on the road to being house-trained, and finally she turned out to be a real ‘chow-hound’. She loves food.

She has been with us a month now. We have formally adopted her. She is the sweetest girl and follows us around, simply longing to be held and get attention. She also greets anyone she meets with her tail wagging and is doing well at the local dog park. She is clueless when it comes to playing, enjoying dog toys and interacting with other dogs, but we hope that will come with time. Considering what she has been through, and compared to others, we are very lucky and we know we have had it easy with her.
