Shelter: 70 More Puppy Mill Dogs Coming to Long Island


Three weeks after a Long Island animal shelter received 120 dogs that were rescued from inhumane conditions at commercial breeding operations known as puppy mills, the same shelter will receive another 70 dogs from similar situations.

North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington is taking in the dogs following a plea from National Mill Dog Rescue, which saved the dogs after an Arkansas puppy mill was shut down.

Once they arrive at the shelter, the dogs and puppies will be evaluated medically, behaviorally and socially. They will then be spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

The rescued puppies range in age from 8 weeks to 4 months. Adult dogs were also rescued. 

Breeds rescued include Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu’s, Papillion’s and Pomeranians.

To learn more about when the dogs and puppies will be available for adoption, visit www.AnimalLeague.org

    One simple law that says no puppy mills allowed would solve the problem with yens years in jail cleaning animal cages.

    Well what can you expect from a state that a mutt like Clinton comes from.
