An emaciated German shepherd was found in the front yard, the dog was in a small dog carrier. The animal was so ill that veterinarians had to euthanize it. They then found dogs in the backyard and in the garage living in horrible, filthy conditions. "The ground was covered with feces over a foot high in some places." Carson shelter manager said the problem with most of the dogs was, they were very hungry. "Right now they are doing pretty good. We've been feeding them regularly and checking them regularly. They are in a lot better shape than they were in Saturday." Bartmess said she bought the kennel 4-1/2 years ago to breed dogs for sale. The business has not done well and costs her approximately $10,000 a year. The more dogs, the more problems they were having trying to take care of them. "This is kind of like a dream that turned into a nightmare. We've never made a living off the dogs, I don't know who could." http://www.pet-abuse.com/cases/8106/CA/US/
