PITTSBURG, Kan. – “The animal facilities inspection program at the Kansas Department of Agriculture notified some unlicensed individuals that due to the number of dogs they had at their facility they were not operating legally,” explains Heather Lansdowne with the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
Lansdowne with the Department of Ag says a residence in Cherokee County was found to have more dogs than is allowed without a license. The limit is 20. She explains the Department of Ag let the homeowners know that they needed to get a license, but they didn’t comply.
So this week, the department removed nine dogs from the location which are now at the SEK Humane Society. After being checked out by a vet, Jasmine Kyle says they aren’t unhealthy. But the females were used for breeding, and all of them have a long way to go before they recover.
