"MOUNT VERNON, Wash. - Rescuers who have saved hundreds of dogs from stinking, filth-choked puppy mills over the past few days have made an eye-popping discovery - most of the animals are pregnant and due to give birth to roughly 1,500 puppies.
Some 600 abused and neglected dogs have been rescued from three different kennels since last weekend, and animal shelters were are already struggling to care for the crush of animals they already have.
The police were raiding puppy mills in the area and thankfully got these poor animals to shelters but now it is going to really have a hard impact on the shelters.......it's just so sad so many animals have been suffering.....
I can certainly sympathize with their plight. The terrier I agreed to adopt was found to be pregnant as she was going in to be spayed in NC before I was to pick her up. And now I am taking care of five puppies... along with my five adult dogs. Fortunately, the puppies are small. The mom is only 20 pounds.
When are our four legged furry friends gonna get a break? And when are these abusers gonna be punished and locked up for good? Everyday there is more and more abuse! So sad! I hate to hear stories like this.

The law should be changed to make abusing an animal the same as abusing a human. Therefore all these puppy mill people should be jailed for 20 years.
I never really cared if someone bred their dogs or not. But I can't stand people who run puppy mills! Breeding one or two dogs is fine(as long as you know what you are doing and your dogs get a break) but having over 600?! How do you even get away with that?

Well so many of these places sell to the pet stores and they are out to make a profit. I have seen a puppy mill first hand, and it was horrible. dogs locked in cages, with no room, and just dirty....it's all about the money, and nothing about the poor animal and it's welfare.....

Unbelievable story. I just read it somewhere else. Five hundred pregnant dogs!? They must have been breeding them every heat cycle to get the most out of them. What happens when the females get old and tired? I hate to even think of it. This was clearly a big operation. I can only imagine how many pet stores they were supplying puppies to.
