Apple Valley kennel raided

Wednesday, July 14. 2010
A kennel on Apple Valley Road was shut down Friday after officials from Jackson County animal control and the Georgia Department of Agriculture followed up on a tip and raided the site.

No charges have been filed yet but the owner has voluntarily turned over all but seven of the 74 dogs taken from the property to the county. County officials are continuing to investigate the case and determine whether to file charges.

The owner did not have a state kennel license and regulations for operating such a business had not been followed. No dead animals or signs of abuse were found, officials report.

“The kennels were not in the great shape but there was not any dead animals or major neglect or major injuries,” Gina Mitstdarffer, county public development director, said. “It was just not a sanitary site.”

The identity of the owner and the address of the property has not been disclosed.

The dogs, all of which are miniatures, are at the Commerce Veterinary Hospital where they are being examined and given vaccines. The county is covering the cost of this but it is possible that the money can be recouped from the owner if charges are filed. The animals will go to animal shelters and non-profit groups who offer adoptions.
