Alleged puppy mill discovered in Florida Keys.
The media spotlight this past week was on dogs that were brought to Broward County after being rescued from a deplorable Tennessee breeding operation. But it turns out we may have had a puppy mill in our own backyard.
Local10.com, the Web site for WPLG-TV in Miami, is reporting that an alleged puppy mill was discovered in the Florida Keys last weekend. Linda Gottwaldof, of the Marathon Animal Shelter, said 46 dogs were found locked in a windowless warehouse. Many were malnourished and so matted they had to be shaved.
Most of the pups have been adopted, but some adult dogs still need homes. Call the Marathon Humane Society at 305-743-3253.

Comments
Is there any update for this story? I purchased a dog from them and I'd be happy to testify or give any comments about them.
I want them prosecuted fully. Please give me any information you have. Thank you.
