A lot of these dogs look like doodles, and were described as "large breed poodle mixes".

THIS is why you don't buy a puppy from on-line puppy ad sites like "Next Day Pets" and Puppy Find."

This is so sad. Thanks for posting this - good reminder to everyone.

They almost all look like doodles.....so sad......I hope they're ok.

At least this place will be shut down, I hope. And these poor dogs get the help they need. These stories make me so mad.

[Julie and Max]

This is so sad

[F, Calla & Luca]

Sad indeed.

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

Very sad. I couldn't look at pics/video. :(

Karen,

Do we know what will happen with these dogs? We would like to see what type of adoption options are possible.  Where will these dogs be housed now? Just a shelter?  Curious about what happens with these types of cases?

Would love to potentially adopt...

You may have to copy and paste the above link to view it. The animals are all in a shelter being cared for and examined by a team of veterinarians. They mentioned that the public will be notified if/when they are available for adoption. Our Bindi was from puppy mill raid and due to litigation we were not able to "adopt" her until the whole process had played out in the courts. We were her fosters until a verdict was reached. Until proven guilty these dogs are technically this "breeders" property and I would assume couldn't be adopted out without her releasing them. Horrific as it is laws have to be followed. So heartbreaking.
www.woodlesofraisintree.com is the breeder charged

Carole, here's the correct link for the "breeder" website.

I really hope everyone will look at the link I just posted. You would never know that was a puppy mill, would you? This is why it is so, so important to know who you are dealing with, use the What to Look for in a Breeder Guidelines, and go see the place in person. I found dozens of posts on-line from people who had been there saying that it's a puppy mill, the house is filthy,  the dogs are filthy and matted, the dogs and puppies are kept hidden away, there is secrecy, etc. But the idiots people who ordered themselves a puppy sight unseen on-line and had it shipped still think it's a wonderful place...except for those whose dogs died.

the website makes this place look so serene and lovely!  the landscape really took my breath away!  The horrors of the internet...

[Carole (*Koda*Monty*Bindi)]

Thank you for correcting the link Karen.

I am really curious as to why you would "love to adopt" one of these puppy mill dogs. 

I can tell you that the humane society will not ship them anywhere, lol. 

The point of the post was about the horrors of puppy mills and buying puppies on-line.
