The problem it is easy to most who see the pictures, that these dogs are suffering. Yet, the state comes in and says no laws have been broken. What?? Most people in Midland county believe we live in a great area, yet we have dogs living in horrible conditions. How on earth can old wooden rabbit hutches with rotten wood, where 3/4's of the total space is open to the elements be good enough? Even the floor is wire..catching little feet and ensnaring long nails. Beneath the wire lay piles of excrement on the ground. They are using old #10 tin cans for water dishes. And there are short haired breeds out there in sub zero weather with no heat whatsover. The breeds that do have long hair, their hair is matted and filthy. The shihtzu rescued from there was covered in fleas and sores. They are in these cages 24/7. So some of these animals have been there for years without ever given the chance to stand on solid ground!

The Midland County Sheriff says that his hands are tied, because Midland county has no ordinance regarding the care of kennels, so it reverts to state law. The state law is not protecting these dogs, so we demand better for the animals in our county.

The Midland County Sheriff claims his hands are tied while dogs continue to suffer in these filth-ridden cages. We are nearing 2,500 signatures and I need you to hit the share button right now to keep this pressure on them. Do not let these bureaucrats think we are going to look the other way while they ignore this cruelty.

please stop these breeders. How would you like to live your life in a box with wire to walk on to go potty. These poor pups will never walk on the ground and will live their life matted, urine soaked and uncared for. All to make these people money.

I hope the new ordinance can be drafted sooner than later and made law to put the puppy mills out of business. Were the dogs examined for microchips? Where did they get their dogs from? And at this point are they inbreeding them? Make that illegal too.

Shame on Midland County for allowing this to happen. Some humans ain't human. "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compasion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men." S. Francis of Assisi

This is blantant cruelty! No dog should be without adequate shelter, living in freezing temperature without heat. Walking on wire floor causing serious pain to their little paws. Never being socialized. The suffering is horrifying.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS!!! ... no animal deserves to live like this ... the county should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to go on ... I can not believe there is no ordinance in Midland County for animal abuse / neglect!!!
