Puppy mill dogs get special treatment

Posted:

Dogs taken from a suspected puppy mill got some special treatment Monday.

Groomers from PetSmart in South Bend volunteered to give the animals taken from a home on California Street some much needed attention.

The goal is make the dogs happier and help them find new homes.

South Bend Animal Shelter Manager Gary Libbey says,  "For the grooming aspect of it, these animals were severely matted. That could lead to some health issues down the road. Luckily we haven't found anything yet."

PetSmart Manager Eric Person says, "After we heard about the actual rescue of the dogs, we all have this soft spot in our hearts for animals. We really don't want to see the animals look like this."

Groomers will be back Tuesday and Wednesday at the South Bend animal shelter grooming the dogs.
