Puppy mill owner, Pam Daniels, 73, charged in animal cruelty case

GEORGIA -- The Macon-Bibb Animal Shelter is 135 animals over capacity, after rescuing 74 abused animals Friday from a Macon kennel and arresting the kennel's owner on charges of animal cruelty.

According to a press release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office, 73-year-old Pam Daniels, of Macon, was arrested and taken to the Bibb County Jail after Macon-Bibb County Welfare Officers rescued 74 small dogs from Rock Ridge Kennels at 6875 Colaparchee Road in Macon on Friday afternoon.

The animals were removed for inhumane conditions, prolonged suffering, unsanitary conditions and improper housing.

Daniels has been charged with 74 counts of animal cruelty.

The Macon-Bibb Animal Shelter's interim director, Sonja Adams, says Friday's rescue leaves a total of about 280 animals in the shelter, which is 135 animals over the shelter's designed capacity.

Adams says the shelter currently has 89 adoptable animals, with more expected to be available in the next few days as animals involved in Friday's animal cruelty case are treated and cleared for adoption.

Fancy websites do not mean your puppy isn't from a puppy mill.
You'll notice she has NO photos of her kennels. NO photos of her
'breeders' and where they live. NO mention of how many total
dogs she has on her property. When you visit, you won't be allowed
to walk the property - she'll keep you up at the house where she has
her token adult dogs and the puppies for sale.

The fees to adopt any animal from the Macon-Bibb Animal Shelter are $100, but $50 will be refunded when the animal's new owner provides proof of having the animal spayed or neutered by a local veterinarian.

Adams urges people to call the Macon-Bibb County Animal Welfare Office at 478-621-6791, to adopt a pet from the shelter, and help them avoid having to euthanize any animals.
