ACFA Seizure Picture
ACFA inspectors
rescued at least 82 King Charles Cavalier Spaniels from the
Severn River Kennel in southern Missouri. Twelve puppies were
found locked inside this van at the kennel with no food or water.
They had been living in and sleeping in their own excrement
for several days. This kennel was operating illegally and had failed
to obtain an ACFA license from the Missouri Department of Agriculture.
Inspectors found the kennel based on a tip from a concerned citizen.
ACFA Seizure Picture
Some adult King Charles Cavalier Spaniels at the Severn River Kennel
were locked in small crates for days
on end. The dogs kept just enough of their areas clean for
sleeping, with feces piled around the remainder of the crates.
ACFA inspectors rescued the animals and have placed them in a safe
environment where they are receiving the care necessary to revive
them to a healthy state.
ACFA Seizure Picture
This King Charles
Cavalier puppy attempted to feed himself with food remnants from
the bottom of a discarded can. The animal was unable to free himself
and survived for an unknown amount of time with the can stuck
on his head. The kennel operators were put out of business by MDA
ACFA Inspectors with the assistance of the Barry County Sheriff's
Department, the Barry County Prosecuting Attorney and the Missouri
Pet Breeder’s Association.
