A person who had adopted a pet from Stickney's Toy Breed and Retirement told Gage County officials that the dog was sick and the shelter was filthy.

Chief deputy county attorney Rick Schreiner said Tuesday that "the ammonia levels were high so you could hardly breathe."

Owner Mary Stickney says she saved the dogs from puppy mills. She blamed authorities for keeping her from cleaning up the mess.

I'm perplexed why the decades-old spay and neuter campaign has overall failed miserably.

I adopted this "problem" (reads sweetie :loveya:) pit bull/cattle dog mix, and trust me there were dozens to choose from:
