800 Dogs Seized From Mobile Home

I am appalled at the story I read today about 800 small dogs, including Chihuahuas, Terriers and Pomeranians, that were seized from a triple-wide mobile home whose occupants were overwhelmed trying to care for the animals.

It read that the owners were breeding the dogs, including Chihuahuas, Chinese cresteds, Lhasa apsos, Terriers and Pomeranians, and offering them for sale. It continued to say that authorities believe the case may have been an example of hoarding, a behavior exhibited by elderly people in which they are unable to part with the animals.

Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Dogs In Danger

It saddens me that these people were able to get away with breeding these animals without any experience and/or education. The owners were breeding and offering the dogs for sale, but the case is described as a hoarding case, in which elderly people sometimes feel no one else can give their animals a good home and won't part with them.

I personally think it's necessary for there to be laws for and about people who are looking to breed animals. It is unfathomable to understand how 800 dogs were able to survive in urine and feces all over the mobile home without any room to exercise. I know that in California there is a law that prevents people from having more than 3 dogs in a home. A law such as this could have prevented such an instance. For those looking to breed dogs or any other animal for that matter, I urge you to educate yourselves about the risks of such a move.

I do hope these dogs all find good homes.
