Puppy Mill Rescue, May - October, 2006
This is a continuation of the puppy mill saga in
El Dorado County. Arthur Warren and Georgia Thompson
went to court again on Oct 2. Each was charged with
11 felonies and 10 misdemeanors.
10/16 At the preliminary hearing today,
Arthur Warren was taken into custody of the El
Dorado County jail with $1
MILLION BAIL. The puppy mill is
officially shut down. NorCal Aussie Rescue will
pick up the remaining 5 adult Aussies from the
El Dorado County shelter 10/18.
10/12 We have four 8 week old
black tri pups with tails ready for their new
homes! 3 female, 1 male...all nicely marked and
home raised. We also have 3 blue merle pups ready
to adopt end of October.
10/9 The Chief of El Dorado
County Animal Control in Placerville kept 20 ten-week
old Aussie pups that they seized from Arthur Warren.
Contact the shelter at 530-621-5795.
We were asked to take 7 adult Aussies including
one Mama with her 4 black tri puppies. The adults
are being evaluated and range from 15 months to
9 years of age. We may get more adults on 10/18.
We are preparing to move to our Sanctuary in
Grass Valley by mid November and need to build
kennels for all these dogs! Please help us with
your donation.
Our Sanctuary has 6.4 acres and a home, and we're
raising money to build indoor kennels with grooming
area and access to a large fenced play yard. Please

Puppy Mill Update
10/2 Hearing was postponed to
10/16 The county found more of Art Warren's Aussies
- he hid them in a barn.
9/22 El Dorado County seized
the remaining Aussies from Arthur Warren. This
is a huge bust and El Dorado County is working
only with NCAR so these dogs have the best future
possible.
9/14 I picked up Sydney Jr.
and Frankie - two breeding males. It was their
FIRST time off the property. I had to carry Frankie
from the car to my yard...he wouldn't stand up!
Both had foxtails and were matted.
9/3 Georgia Thompson
gave us Sadie and Bonnie, two 10 year
old breeding females and Layla, a 6 year old mama
and her 3 days old pups. We had both senior females
spayed, one was pregnant. Both had foxtails in
their gums and ears and were terribly matted.
Both have found fabulous forever homes.
Mama Layla and her 3 pups are doing fine. The
pups were born 9/1 and are loving life! Two blue
merle boys, one very dark blue merle girl - all
have tails. They will be available for adoption
mid October. Applications may be submitted now.

On June 19 I watched from a nearby hill as Arthur Warren
took the last of the Aussies and a few horses from Georgia
Thompson's property. Georgia told me that 3 females
are pregnant. Only El Dorado County officials know where
he lives or where he's keeping the dogs. No one will
tell me where he's keeping the dogs or if they will
seize them. Arthur has no kennel license and by law
cannot keep more than 4 adult dogs and puppies up to
6 months old....he has 45-50 plus the pregnant ones.
I managed to get QT Pie, the deaf and blind puppy from
Georgia...but he's the only one. We managed
to get Dewey and Tank two
12 week old blue merle pups from Georgia in early
June while Arthur was still in jail.
Puppy Mill Updates
