92 dogs abandoned along country roads in Texas, police say

The Humane Society of North Texas is offering a $500 reward for information on who dumped 92 dogs along country roads in Denton County Monday and Tuesday nights.

Police in Flower Mound found 51 Maltese mixed-breed dogs late Monday night along a country road near Highway 377 and Stonecrest Road.

Then, late Tuesday night, 41 dogs -- mostly Cavalier King spaniels -- were found along a rural road near Sanger.

The Humane Society believes both cases are related -- probably the operators of a puppy mill who no longer want to breed the animals under a strict new state law.

All of the animals are filthy and may have lived under horrible conditions.

Anyone interested in adopting the dogs can contact the Humane Society of North Texas in Fort Worth at 817-332-HSNT or the city animal shelter in Flower Mound at 972-874-6390.

Our local shelter just took in about 40 dogs from a puppy mill that was just shut down. A bunch more went to other shelters in the region. The woman running it got what amounts to a slap on the wrist. The dogs didn't get dumped on country roads like the ones in OP, but half the other dogs in the shelters around here are dumpees, as are many of the cats. It's how the lazy assholes around here get rid of unwanted animals.

On edit: There were 200 dogs in the SC puppy mill. Also 9 horses and 40 fowl got confiscated. This wasn't this woman's first puppy mill, either. I doubt it will be her last. She'll just move to another county like she did the last time she was caught.

We need stricter breeding laws that are actually enforced.

My cat was dumped like that when she was a kitten. The person who rescued her is constantly finding dumped puppies out in the country where she lives.
