Kaufman Co.

PRAIRIEVILLE, Texas - The Humane Society and sheriff’s deputies seized more than 600 dogs and about 15 cats Tuesday afternoon from a suspected puppy mill in Kaufman County.
The society said it started investigating the kennel, which is located near Prairieville just north of Mabank, when someone came to them asking for dog food donations. Representatives visited and found poor living conditions and malnourished dogs.
The animals seized Tuesday were examined to determine which ones needed medical attention.
The majority of them are Chihuahuas, poodles and other small-breed dogs.
Deputies said the kennel’s owners have not yet been arrested or charged.
Prairieville is about 50 miles southeast of Dallas.

150 Dead Dogs Found in Freezers
Published : Friday, 24 Jul 2009, 2:32 PM CDT
DEARBORN, Mich. - Police say about 150 dead dogs were found packed in freezers in the basement of a Michigan home where more than 110 live dogs, mostly Chihuahuas, were rescued this week.
Investigators in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn say the two-story house is littered with feces and trash. The 54-year-old man who lives there has been taken to a hospital for observation. Police say the man appeared confused and disoriented.
Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad said Friday that 112 live dogs have been removed from the home, and police believe about five more may be hiding inside. He says a criminal investigation is under way.
The rescued dogs were taken to a shelter, where many residents have donated food and filled out pet adoption applications.
