UPDATE 5/25/08 on the 19 Seeley Collies Rescued in Upstate NY
Statement by AWCA President Jean Levitt
Fall, winter, spring, and now entering summer, Seeley Collies are still held in crates in the attic at the SPCA of Upstate New York located in Queensbury.
As tragic as that is, the Collies are better off in the SPCA attic than being held on the overcrowded, unsanitary, noisy main floor. Truckloads of puppies are still arriving from the South, destined to be sold at PetSmart. The Collies stored in the attic, like so much junk, are at least protected from any puppy illnesses.
Seeley Collies have now been held, in crates, at the SPCA of Upstate New York, for 222 days.
Calmly,
Jean Levitt
