PA Cocker spaniel breeder raided twice

Barbara Dienner of Lititz, PA violated a court order forbidding her from owning more dogs. On March 27, Pennsylvania SPCA raided her home seizing 19 dogs from her farm. Dienner faces numerous charges including unsanitary confinement. Last December 16, Dienner’s farm was raided seizing 62 cocker spaniel mixes. Jerry Buckley of the PSPCA said “unfortunately it does not appear that the previous charges and penalties were a sufficient deterrent for Ms. Dienner.”

Since 2011, Dienner has over 60 citations related to her puppy mill including running a kennel without a license.

Foster home needed in SE Pennsylvania, UPDATE

Cockers In Need is looking for anyone able to foster a beautiful black and white American cocker spaniel parti in Pennsylvania. Daisy has a great disposition but is easily frightened due to her experiences living in an area puppy mill. Daisy is approximately 4-6 years old and is in need of veterinary care including spaying. See rescue site for contact information.

UPDATE 5/4/2011: According to Linda of Cockers In Need Rescue, Daisy’s fear issues are worse than expected. She is most likely not adoptable and may be euthanized.
