On More than a dozen pets die in house fire
Posted on June 25 at 9:01 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I have started both regional and national breed rescues (501c3 orgs.). I have 3 canine rescues here and 2 fosters of another species that actually came through Rock Co. so don't lecture me about what I don't know about rescue. I never said Mr. Hurley isn't dedicated but to make a disparaging comment about someone he doesn't even know and pass judgement on the number of animals she had without knowing the situation is extremely unkind. (Does he think that having 15 dogs, some which were 2 week old pups, is what started the fire?) That is what caused me to register and make my comment as it has been so long since I posted a comment here I did not remember my user name/password. BTW, I am only registered one time so maybe it is you who have more than one username since you are obviously familiar with doing that type of thing!

Exactly what is the Rock Co. HS spokesperson trying to say here? If he doesn't want that many dogs in his house, fine but if someone can care for that number of dogs (he said everything was clean, etc.) then what is the problem? It isn't for him to judge as long as no laws are broken and animals are well cared for! I have almost that many dogs in my house,too. It is not illegal where I live (all are licensed), my house is clean, my dogs are well cared for and most are spayed/neutered. Because I show dogs,just like Tammy does, you end up with more dogs than the average person as you cherish your retired dogs just as you do your newest litter so you don't dump them just because they are older. Responsible dog owners/breeders are not criminals and just because someone has a litter of puppies doesn't mean their dogs are a source of income (Tammy is a dog groomer as far as I know and that is how she earns her living NOT from her dogs). Many responsible breeders only have a litter once every year or two and this is the situation here as most of her dogs are spayed/neutered so maybe you should offer her your sympathy for her loss of her beloved pets AND her home instead of criticizing her.

I appreciate seeing this article that clarifies Tami is a wonderful and caring pet owner unlike the previous one. Thank you for doing this follow up and clearing the air. I hope the pain is a bit less this week for Tami and her aunt Sharon after the loss of their companions. You are in all of our thoughts.
