Our family business, a dog breeding operation in Johnston County, has been unjustly targeted by The Humane Society of the United States and the local Sheriff's office. This is not just a business to us; it's our life. Our children have grown up with these dogs and puppies - they are part of our family.

Recently, we were subjected to an unexpected seizure of our dogs without any valid reason or proof of misconduct. This action has not only affected us financially but emotionally as well, as we consider these dogs as our own family members.

We understand the importance of animal welfare and have always strived to provide the best care for our animals. We believe that this action was taken based on misconceptions about dog breeders rather than actual evidence against us.

In 2019 alone, there were over 2 million registered breeders in the US (source: American Kennel Club), many operating under stringent regulations and providing loving homes for their animals. It is unfair to target responsible breeders based on negative stereotypes.

We demand a thorough investigation into this matter by an unbiased party and request that our dogs be returned to us immediately until such investigation proves any wrongdoing on our part.

Please join us in standing against this injustice by signing this petition today!
