NCHS Closes Down Puppy Mill
Dozens of Dogs Rescued on New Year's Eve
The Newnan-Coweta Humane Society took in 30 dogs and puppies and one cat on New Year's Eve from a puppy-mill breeder. The dogs, voluntarily surrendered by a facility located near the Alabama-Georgia border included a number of pure toy breeds and so-called "designer breeds," including Shih Tzu's, Toy Poodles, Maltese, Malti-Poos, and Silky Terriers. Also surrendered were Labrador/Border Collie cross puppies, approximately 9 weeks old and one adult Beagle mix male dog approximately 18 months old. Additionally surrendered was one Siamese mix tabby point adult male cat with blue eyes.
The dogs are currently undergoing physical exams and are receiving veterinary care for a myriad of conditions including dental problems, ear mites, intestinal parasites, etc. All dogs will receive much needed veterinary care, dental cleanings, grooming, and spay or neuter prior to adoption. Once they receive the all-clear from the vet, they will be available for adoption. If you or someone you know would like assistance with shutting down a puppy mill operation, please call 470-215-2760 to make an anonymous report.
NOTE: We are not accepting any additional pre-adoption applications at this time for the "puppy mill" rescued dogs. We have received many inquiries and phone calls and our volunteers are returning all calls and emails within 48 hours. Stay tuned here or visit NCHS on facebook
to get the most up to date information on these precious rescued babies. Remember, we are still a BIT short on funding for their care and are gladly accepting donations. Click on the Donate Now Button and specify for Puppy Mill Rescue. Thanks and Woof Woof!
