These dogs are in terrible shape. Besides being matted and filthy and covered in fleas, they've got numerous health issues which need to be resolved - if possible (one of them might have cancer) - as well as behavioural issues such as being afraid of humans.
People often wonder what the big deal is with puppy mills because all they see are the cleaned up photos of the for sale pups on sites like Kijiji selling through brokers and agents acting as fronts. Well, this is the big deal. For all those cute pups that are being sold to uninformed or uncaring buyers, there are multitudes of dogs like these ones here who will suffer their whole lives for some consumer's pleasure.
Toronto Animal Services South will be taking three of these guys(I'll let you know when they come in) and Anne and Pete's Foster Home for Dogs will be taking the other two.
Thanks again to Kismutt for doing the rescue and taking the video. If you have a moment, click over to the Kismutt website and give them some props for the great work they do.
