1. 140 dogs rescued from Leitrim property 140 dogs have been rescued from a property in Leitrim - in the largest canine rescue in the history of the state. The ISPCA worked with four other animal rescue operations to remove the dogs - most of whom were heavily matted and suffering from skin, eye and teeth problems. The dogs were mostly Bichon Frise crosses, King Charles Cavaliers and Shih Tzus, ranging in age from puppies right through to mature dogs. The ISPCA said the woman who owns the animals is a dog hoarder and could not afford to look after the dogs properly.

My husband just phoned me to tell me this and I was looking online for some details!! I wonder was it a hoarder or a puppy farmer?

With those breeds to me it sounds like a puppy farmer. But who knows.

**Vai**

Yeah those breeds scream puppy farm. Calling yourself a hoarder may be a way to get away with it.

We seem to be getting worse as a country when it comes to animal welfare.
