October 24, 2009 Bay Springs, Miss — The Bay Springs Sheriff's Dept. in conjunction with the ASPCA seized 43 dogs from shockingly poor conditions at a Jasper County puppy mill. Conditions were found to be so deplorable that law enforcement obtained an emergency search and seizure warrant. Forty-three of the most critical dogs were seized with 60+ remaining on site. Dogs seized displayed severe neglect including eye and skin conditions, malnourishment, and parasites. Dogs seized included Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Basset Hounds, Schnauzers, Feists, Poodles, and Bichons including Shih Tzu/Papillon mix breeds. Animals were transported to the OLHS on October 25 where staff and volunteers worked to set up and supply food, water, blankets, toys, and attend to medical issues.
Volunteers worked Monday on grooming dogs, but there are still many in need. If you can help with grooming or can sponsor a dog for grooming, please contact the OLHS at 662.236.7631. All dogs are viewable under the OLHS "Adopt A Pet" link. If you are interested in adopting one of these loving babies, please complete our online application or come by the shelter.
