POMERANIAN PUPPYMILL RESCUE

The rescuer tells the tales of seven lucky little Pomeranians.  She wants to get more out, but needs AAS to help with the bills. We will of course, because we have AAS supporters to do the helping. Please donate to Puppymill Rescue.
There were roughly 60 Pomeranians of all ages, all intact. The dogs weigh between 3 and 5 pounds, some young ones, some really old...no teeth at all.  One is only 3 pounds and is pregnant...odds are she won't be able to birth those pups without a c-section. Most of the males either had existing serious eye wounds or scarred blue corneas from old healed wounds.  They fight viciously over the wet food as well as over the female dogs, grabbing each other by the face, eyes, nose. Three males at one point were fighting over a female that was trying to escape by crawling under the couch.  One of the males crawled under and pulled her out by the skin on her back.  They are all very accustomed to unceremoniously squatting and defecating, urinating wherever they stand.  The urine and feces is everywhere....sunporch, kitchen, living room.  Underneath the kitchen table is an ancient little male trying to stand and cock his leg on the table pedestal but he keeps falling over instead. His eyes are scarred, his breathing ragged and noisy.
His "partner" is there in the same area.  She's easily as old, and walks with a hitch as her back legs no longer bend at the knee. She can't seem to lift her head but holds it down and straight out and is missing a 6 inch stretch of hair over her spine on her backend.  Their tongues hang out as they no longer have any teeth. (See "Mary Rose")
The floors are unpainted plywood and chicken wire surrounds the stairs leading to the basement where the rest of the dogs are kept.  The stench, flies and wasps are unbelievable.
In the tiny unventilated bathroom is yet another female with two puppies.  Mavis said she would sell the pups for $400.00 at 6 weeks.  She also went on to say that she lost 11 puppies over the winter due to "bad food".

Mavis then took us downstairs to the lower floor.  Inside the first area was a huge open room with concrete floors.  There isn't any glass left in the windows.  They are partially covered with tattered plastic and old curtains.  Winters would be brutally cold.  There were approximately eight dogs running loose in that area.  The food and water dishes are on the same paper the dogs defecate on, although they do defecate and urinate everywhere else as well.  The dogs are frenzied and frantic for attention.
 
Through another doorway is a large cavernous room sectioned off into three chambers by galvanized dog fencing/gates.  Each chamber is split up with low exercise pen type wire runs in the center.  The floor is concrete with what appears to be pine pellets as a covering.  The stench is enough to make you want to throw up, my eyes watered from the ammonia.  Mavis was scooping feces up with a litter scoop and dustpan and would just toss it out one of the few windows in this area.  There were probably another 20 dogs in this area.
