Here’s Casper, an actual victim of a backyard breeder!
When the greeder determined he was sick (no profit) he was dumped at a construction site.
The animal shelter decided within 24 hours that he would die at 4pm on Friday September 3rd even prior to becoming available for public adoption.
At 3:30 on Friday we pulled him out of there and are committed to his recovery and punishing backyard breeders for their cruelty!
Here is his shelter intake:
