Looks like a lot of good dogs are in need of adoption in Springfield, MO. Some are in pretty bad shape, maybe from a Labradoodle mill, but some are obviously lost pets and have collars on. People, get id tags on your dogs today! And please, if you find a lost dog, try to find the owner yourself before turning it in.
This situation today isn't any different than any other day in too many shelters across the nation. And it doesn't have to be this way...get out there and adopt a dog people! From Springfield or you local shelter...here are a couple in need.

My Dog, that's a sad sight. Those sure look like mill dogs and unfortunately, MO is a big miller state.
Did they bust somebody? Surely those dogs weren't just wandering around - unless they were dumped.
Those poodles need to be sedated so they can be cleaned up - cutting through those mats is going to hurt.
Makes my blood boil.

Just as speculation here, but the Missouri Humane Society just busted a puppy mill down there and confiscated 315 animals including 70 dogs and dozens of cats in a town not far from Springfield. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these poor animals were from that bust.

Sounds like its actually a hoarder - 6 children were removed too.
