Rush Kennels Very criminal and cruel

I had just lost my Senior dogs. One went missing, the other in an accident. My business demands I have good natured, socialized with pets/children/other animals. I received the dogs via the airlines, no records of rabies or other vacinations, no papers, just a vet certifiate
stating the dogs were good to ship. The Rabies part was left blank. A phone call to the vet infomred me that he'd dropped them a yr ago because of some of their practices and was surprized that they would even bring the puppies to him.

On getting one of the dogs out of the crate, I saw it was emanciated it fought and struggled till it was free and ran off. I got the other one out and it took off the next day after slipping the collar. I kept food out and they found each other and with the help of the dog warden and a trap, I was able to catch them. They are not trained to the leash or collar and have not had much human contact.

The dogs stunk when they came although they had not messed their cage. I showed the second dog to my neighbor because I thought I was having a bad dream. The dogs are 7 months old and starved. My vet wrote the same thing when I had them evaluated. These IG's weighed 11 & 14lbs. Mine IG's weighed 22lbs
and were smaller framed dogs.

When I emailed to the kennel I stated the dogs are in horrid condtion mind and body and had the behavior of 2 wild rabbits when in fact it was more like farrel dogs. They panic with humans, and are so scared they set motionless all day long when trying to socialize them.

The kennel informed me that I didn't give the puppies a chance, that I was heartless for talking about them and that it was their hope that I would not find them but rather someone else would give them a home that they deserved. I got the dogs to lift my spirits but found about all they can do for me is make me sad and cry. I don't understand how anyone can to this to a dog or people.

After trying to socialize them for a couple of days and keeping them in the house, I thought it time to take them out on a collar and leash to potty. I carried the dog out and was getting ready to set it down and as soon as the feet touched the ground it started biting, clamping down and trying to obtain a tighter grip without letting go. When it was over I had blood running down both arms, 20 punture woulds to hands arms and ankle.

Waking up the next day, I realized some of the wounds were infected and appeared to have the onset of blood posion. A trip to ER and a phone call from the health department means confinement for 10 days. While they were running loose, I kept food out for them and they
would lots of it. However, they killed about 20 of my 3 month old chicks just for the sport of it. Ms Rush calls this being social with chickens.

These people are most cruel and dangereous to dogs and people. They set both animal and client up for disaster and should be prosecuted for the criminal practices that put good faith clients in harms way. Comments to their guest book are on approval only.
