I apologize if this has already been posted. The story keeps taking turns.

the really sad part is 4 animals were placed there by the shelter itself. Wonder fi she ever went there at all to see conditions?

The dogs were, at one point, in good condition in their care.

I almost took my dogs there for training. I'm furious that my dogs could have been exposed to that. I ended up not going because of bad reviews (that the place was dirty) and that the fact the owner called be back about training 6 months after my initial call.

Still no word on the missing dogs. I think everyone fears the worst.

One of the Dobies. I wish I could take this one.

I don't think I want to know what the "worst" is. I can imagine everything from being sold off to dogfighters, puppymillers or even being starved to death. It's just so sad!

I think community feels very betrayed. I personally know people that sent dogs to this rescue. I know they feel sick.

One of the owners still maintains the missing dogs were stolen. Considering what they've done, they can't be trusted and are likely lying. The truth will come to light.

Sounds like they left the care of the animals to the niece-chick living in the apt. there and she didn't bother taking care of them. Did you see the level of filth in the pics on the video?

This just bothers me so much. I am sure that the missing dogs probably died there. They just probably don't want to admit it. I am gonna guess that she hurt herself getting the metal cage out of the place in order to get rid of the body inside.

Sad.

Snickerpoodles, the owners were there at the daycare apparently because one of the called me to schedule a training class to be held there.

My theory is the niece might have been blowing the whistle. Someone told me that the owners had a lot of influence over her. We'll see.

The mangy Doberman is going to rescue. Three groups applied so good news for her.

Ahhh, that makes more sense! We've been hearing about the "so-called" stolen dog robbery around here for a week or so now. Sad to hear this whole mess.

A new turn in the story. They have withdrawn their contract with the shelter. They want some of the dogs back! This means the dogs, many had homes and rescues ready for them, have to stay at the shelter until March! These people are scum!

Edit: Apparently the owners of Cool School for Dogs changed their minds. Again. This is ridiculous.
