Please let anyone you know in > ANY breed or all-breed rescue in the area that these dogs need to be pulled > IMMEDIATELY. Any dogs that do not go to rescue will be sold to other puppy > mills, brokers, pet stores, laboratories, dog fighters (for bait), or put > down. There are MANY different breeds, and dogs of all ages -- even puppies. > We pulled three mini's, and from what we were told, there are no more > schnauzers. > With the 3 schnauzers we pulled yesterday, the guy was pretty much > over a barrel, as he has to reduce the number of dogs from over 1,000 down > to the 25-35 that the state of PA will allow him to keep, by the end of the > month. We were able to get the 3 schnauzers for nothing, just showed up and > asked for them. On the way out the daughter asked for a "donation" but we > didn't give them anything. > Of course, the 3 schnauzers were 7-8 years old and of not much use to him > any longer. > Rescuers should come down on Saturday or during the week (NOT on > Sunday) to get any dogs they can. Directions follow: > The farm belongs to Aaron Zimmerman and he is being shut down by the > state of Pennsylvania. From the PA Turnpike Exit 22 (Morgantown), take Route > 10 South to Route 23 West. Follow Rt. 23 West to New Holland. In the middle > of town there is a hardware store on the right -- Kaufmann's. Turn right at > the light at Kaufmann's, then take the first right onto Snyder Road, then a > left on Reidenbach Road. The farm is on Reidenbach, on the left. It has > several large barns (a poultry barn in the front). Pull around to the left, > down the drive to the large red building in the back. There are "DO NOT > ENTER" signs on the door. Mr. Zimmerman should be there. Please do NOT go on > a Sunday because the Mennonites will not deal with you then! We are not sure > how many dogs he is planning on keeping to start up again - apparently he > told an all-breed rescuer that he's getting completely out of the business > (we can only hope!). But by the looks of things (so many dogs still there), > that is doubtful. There were big kennels outside, and hundreds of small > cages in maybe ten rows inside the barn, many with more than one dog in > each. There were MANY different breeds, all sizes and ages, even puppies. > Rescuers, please try to save as many as possible! > Although the 3 schnauzers we pulled were filthy and scared to death, they > were not at all aggressive and should be adoptable. The mill is supposed to > be shut down by the end of September. *** PLEASE CROSSPOST *** > > Anyone interested in either fostering or adopting any of the 3 > schnauzers we pulled should contact New Jersey Schnauzer Rescue Network, > Inc.: http://njsrn.petfinder.org, or e-mail Nadine at [EMAIL PROTECTED] as > soon as possible. > > ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
