Animal control seizes dozens of dogs from Roane puppy mill
November 6, 2009
Late Wednesday night, authorities partially broke up a suspected puppy mill near Midtown in the county. Griffin expects the owner of the dogs to face six charges of animal cruelty and another half-dozen charges for not vaccinating dogs against rabies. "I stand firm and believe that this is the first puppy mill in Roane County," Griffin said. Thursday morning, 28 of the seized dogs sat in the county's shelter, most of them with mange after living in their own feces for most of their lives.
