Geez, why do these cases seem to be happening more and more? The Houston SPCA just rescued 234 Rotties from a single owner. A friend of mine is fostering a mother who had 6 pups, only 1 survived. Since the rescue over 100 pups have been born. Hopefully the people of Ohio will jump in and help just as those in Houston have

This was rescue group that has operated in the area for many, many years. I knew the owner - back when I worked at a shelter here I would see him at Petsmart adoption events and would always talk to him. We were friendly, but not friends. He was a GSD breeder, protection trainer (I doubt he was good) and a rescuer (not a good one). I'd been to his barn back in 2003 or 04 maybe and it wasn't great then, but mostly it was because he kept several dogs of opposite sexes in the same stalls and they did breed because he had too many and could not afford to get them fixed. If a dog came from him fixed, it came to him that way. Quite possibly there are GSDs there since he was a breeder and had several GSDs in the rescue. I haven't had a chance to get out there since they are being cared for near Columbus. His petfinder page hadn't been updated in ages (now it's gone) but there were GSDs listed. His rescue was called One More Chance.
