Dogs from Almost Heaven Kennels healthy enough to adopt, Department of Agriculture says
</a>

The 211 dogs seized from a raid of the Almost Heaven Kennels in Lehigh County are healthy enough for adoption, said Chris Ryder, a spokesman for the state Department of Agriculture[/b]

All I know either "HSUS" is once again in the hyberbole game or a miracle occured on the farm show grounds, I think I will go with the first hand account of the DEPT of Ag not meet their own guidlines for kennels

I remember reading eyewitness accounts of the conditions HSUS was keeping dogs in during and after Katrina - it was abysmal. And they weren't people take the dogs out of there, including many legitimate single-breed rescues.

I also watched a video of a "puppymill" raid a few months ago. All the dogs they were taking seemed to me to be healthy, clean, and very friendly.
