Great update on the Animal Refuge League's web site.
The dogs from the Buxton puppy mill will be going to forever homes!

The Animal Refuge League and Animal Welfare Society begin the next chapter of the Buxton puppy mill saga. On November 15th the court awarded custody of the seized animals to the State of Maine Animal Welfare Program and in the next several weeks the lead agencies in this seizure will be working to get some 300 dogs and pups spayed, neutered and microchipped by Home Again in preparation for eventual adoption. It should be noted that this action is separate from the criminal proceedings and from any other known legal proceedings currently in place, such as the $900 million law suit which has been reported. All animals who are coming up for adoption through ARL and AWS will be posted on the websites and interested parties should keep checking in. Adoptions will be done methodically, giving potential adopters plenty of information about what to expect when adopting a puppy mill survivor.

This is an enormous financial undertaking and monetary donations are greatly needed!
