This rescue in Maryland is always going to the mattresses and doing everything they can for so many dogs.
We were asked by their shelter partner to intake the Ovcharkas because they are lost not guardian dogs by breed but generally wrecked for that sort of work due to irresponsible unethical breeders.
SG was able to take some of them. I’m not sure what happened to the rest of them but the bottom line is that we completely agree with this post and therefore that is why we are sharing it.
There are far too many people purchasing puppies directly from these unethical backyard breeders or from the unethical pet stores that sell unethically produced puppies that includes two different ones here in our home county of Guilford.
If this is how you are acquiring your family pet … well unapologetically you’re part of the problem because every time these unethical folks produce a puppy and someone buys it it just empties out the kennel and they breed more.

As many of you know- keeping my mouth shut and my opinions to myself, is not an easy thing for me to do. So knowing exactly who the puppy mill breeder of all of the bulldogs and Ovcharkas (they were breeding doodles and Pomeranians as well) we rescued and not being able to speak on it publicly, has been very hard. But, now that those responsible have officially been charged (over 70 counts of animal cruelty charges to be exact) no longer will we remain silent.
Several weeks ago, the rescue coordinator at one of our partner shelters in southern Maryland reached out to us about a large number of animals that had come into their care after being seized from a local puppy mill situation. The dogs were living in deplorable conditions, many being kept in a building with no electricity or running water. Rotting floors, crates filled with f***s, dogs crammed into spaces far too small for them. Puppies being trampled into the ground, covered in their own excrement, as well as ringworm. I cant even tell you how many baths it took to remove the urine staining from several of these dogs. Sigh.
As you may remember, one of those dogs died tragically on the same day we picked him up from the shelter. We would go on to make multiple trips to their facility, saving multiple dogs each time. In total, we welcomed 22 dogs into our care from this situation, which was sadly only a fraction of the dogs saved, and it of course came at a great cost to our organization. We preach regularly at the importance of researching your breeders, and not buying these fad colored dogs who are bred solely for profit, with no care or concern about the lifelong problems they will have. In fact, we have dogs with skin issues, hearing impairments, vision impairments, and or course- some that simply cannot breathe.
PLEASE- stop supporting puppy mills and BYBs. These people stay in business because the public is funding them!! Also, if anyone wants to reach out to the Baltimore Ravens and ask them if they want to support a local rescue who saved a bunch of dogs from a puppy mill that one of their players financially supported, that would be solid.
Picture of the sweet baby who lost his life on the day of rescue, for tax. Gone but not forgotten. Today we are giving you 84 thousand voices. 💙
