A breeder in Howell County, Missouri has agreed to surrender 135 dogs so she could close her business. This was the breeder’s decision and not the result of law enforcement. “I just think it got to be too much,” says Brian Thomas a statewide investigator. “She couldn’t find anybody to help her.”
Cocker spaniels were among the 10 breeds surrendered. Humane Society of Missouri President Kathy Warnick said, “We will provide veterinary treatment, socialization and find them the loving homes all dogs deserve.”
