KETTERING — Nine frightened dachshunds arrived this week at the Society for the Improvement of Conditions for Stray Animals from a massive raid on a puppy mill in West Virginia after authorities shut down the business and rescued 1,000 dogs of various breeds.
The dogs, used for repeated breeding, were kept in small rabbit hutches in 95 degree heat, many without enough water, officials said.
The owner of the facility turned over the animals and signed a document barring her from operating another breeding facility.
The dogs brought to SICSA are being cared for by foster families until they are socialized, undergo medical care and are ready for adoption. The organization is accepting donations for their care and will be looking for permanent homes in the coming months.
For more information, visit www.sicsa.org or send a donation to SICSA, 2600 Wilmington Pike, Kettering, Ohio, 45419.
