The gonadaphobia more of a local shelter thing.<br /><br />A good rescue or shelter is rigorous about ensuring suitable, competent homes and good matches. This is not accomplished via pinheaded bureaucracy. Like TSA x-raying breast milk, rigid shibboleths give the illusion of relevance, but only to the fatuous. They produce as many false positives as false negatives.Heather Houlahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891198124130533198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-72297315492504914912010-12-04T19:49:22.783-05:002010-12-04T19:49:22.783-05:00It seems that the only sin worse in rescue than ow...It seems that the only sin worse in rescue than owning an intact pet is failing to have a fenced yard.The Dog Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287112678836853233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-81913013738027014832010-12-03T12:25:38.172-05:002010-12-03T12:25:38.172-05:00I'd just like to add one thing that Mz. Sonden...I'd just like to add one thing that Mz. Sondeno has chosen to completely ignore, maybe two. This was not a first offense for Kapsa. She has a history of 'puppy mill animal abuse.' This was her second offense in Yellowstone county alone. During the fiasco of her first offense in the early 90's her mother came to town and purchased her a new trailer. When the animal control officer asked her mother why she would do that, rather than take Linda back to South Dakota and get her the help she so obviously needed he was told by her mother, 'We don't want her back in SD, she did the same thing there with German Shepherds.<br />As for the statements about the 'condition of the dead animals Kelly took pictures of,' I for one will be glad when the 'rediculous lawsuits' have been dealt with and a certain power point presentation can reveal a 'very small portion' of the horrendous conditions found on that property on seizure day. Seeing dead animals in a 'freezer' as opposed to the state they were found in at the seizure site are like comparing 'apples to oranges.' <br />I can process the fact the Linda has an illness and 'attempt' to feel bad about that illness, but I cannot and will not accept what she did to those animals. Kleptomania is an illness, yet, kleptos still must pay the price when caught stealing. An illness is NOT AN EXCUSE for people to run rappant and break the law. There were many other animals abused on that property besides the dogs, there were horses, chickens, cats, and goats all of which suffered greatly at her hands. I still get angry thinking about all the love and care that was poured into rehabbing 'the chickens,' (who by the way were just as afraid of people as the dogs), to simply be given back to her, with no regard for the volunteer who worked so hard to bring them back to health, because 'they were just chickens.'<br />Do I feel sorry for Linda and sentence? No, I actually feel it was not a harsh enough sentence.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397809299986926203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-14656581707278522552010-12-02T14:10:25.308-05:002010-12-02T14:10:25.308-05:00Via --

So well-hidden that all the dogs were surgically sterilized in public view. <i>ESC is <b>clever</b></i>.<br /><br />There are, however, some credible stories of "breeding pairs" being sold by <i>other</i> sources both before and after October '09.<br /><br />Since it's unprofitable to puppy-mill without selling the product, and it's hard to sell without advertising, these will eventually surface.<br /><br />http://www.agriseek.com/classifieds/p/Registered-English-Shepherd-Pups.htm<br /><br />At some point down the line some sucker is going to want to register what he bought with a real registry, and will find out that the pedigree is fabricated and the NKC papers not so much credible.Heather Houlahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891198124130533198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-31465849202832938732010-12-02T13:37:25.730-05:002010-12-02T13:37:25.730-05:00Ms Sodeno said...

It was there for months, people put a lot of time and patience into that very young dog and eventually an appropriate home was found. Then there was another dog that was on petfinder for over a year with a write up from the Kelly 'foster home.' The foster home finally put the dog in the free ads and it read something like this: dog is neurotic, needs farm home.' I guess you could say the dogs were 'easy', especially if nothing was done with them.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397809299986926203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-2385395020331171052010-12-01T17:45:19.987-05:002010-12-01T17:45:19.987-05:00Heather, it is to laugh that you didn't NEED f...Heather, it is to laugh that you didn't NEED five dogs.<br /><br />We certainly didn't NEED seven dogs, but every day I look into black and tan Shadow girl's eyes and am reminded that I still have a long way to go before I'm the person my dog thinks I am.<br /><br />I know she could have transferred that love and devotion to another, and that outcome was what I'd been working towards.

I had about 10 of the Kapsa dogs that came off her place when her sentence went into effect......they weren't as tough to deal with as I thought they would be......maybe because my place was quieter....they were easier to deal with....I don't know.....I only have a few of them left...the tougher ones, but they will be okay. The point of my comment is, of the younger dogs I took, with the work we did with them....they all turned out to be great dogs. It wasn't so much because of my, and the few people who helped, had stellar training abilities.....it was because the dogs were nice to begin with. I've read a great many comments by you about the Kapsa situation and when people are as vicious in their opinions as you have been at times of Kapsa, I have a tendency to be skeptical about hidden agendas from the accusers. I've been to Linda's place and it could of....should have been better....in addition, I took the pictures of the deceased dogs held as evidence...I didn't see an under weight, mangy or really, otherwise neglected, unhealthy dog as portrayed by all the newspaper accounts....I made sure all the photos took this into account. What I saw was a mob mentality that went for an easy kill. Linda should have done better, but it is over now and she has to take a new direction for the rest of her life....maybe you should too.....not to leave this on a sour note, please email me if you would care to discuss any of this privately.
