A woman under investigation for operating a puppy mill has been
charged with six counts of animal cruelty after authorities for the
third time discovered dogs jammed together in poorly ventilated sheds,
jerry-built pens and portable carriers.
Virtually all of the 90 dogs and puppies found on Marjorie Dodd's
Poland Hollow Road property in Harriman on Wednesday had health
problems ranging from infected jaws to mange to flea infestations,
John Sanchez said.
Twenty-eight animals with the most severe health issues were seized,
said Sanchez, an investigator with the Roane County District Attorney
General's office.
Dodd, 72, has been cited for six counts of animal cruelty. Future
charges would be upgraded from misdemeanors to felonies, Sanchez said.
