In 2010 B & C Kennels was granted a special use permit to allow 40 dogs on their property. In 2016 they sold 535 puppies. They've been violating the special use permit for years. It was brought to DeKalb County's attention in 2016 and B & C then asked for a special use permit allowing even more dogs on their property.


The next Planning & Zoning meeting in DeKalb will be on May 24th at 6:30. If they approve the increase in the number of dogs it will then go on to the County Board for the final decision.

UPDATE: At the DeKalb county meeting they stated there was something wrong with the wording in the ordinance, so no vote yet. The next full board meeting is scheduled for sometime in August and will update when the date is available.  UPDATE: DeKalb county is allowing B&C to import dogs from Angela Shubert's puppy mill. They should be ashamed of themselves.

At the same time, they asked for another special use permit in Ogle County. The Zoning Department DENIED their request.  It now goes before the County Board for approval.

UPDATE: Ogle county DENIED their request to open the kennel. The vote was 21 -0. Thank you Ogle county!
 
In March 2014 Angela Shubert was cited with three violations:

1st. Violation:  This facility was performing dewclaw removal and tail
docking procedures with no program of veterinary care.
2nd Violation:  Adult dogs were not microchipped.
3rd.Violation: Puppies feet were falling through the cage floors.
At this inspection she had 504 dogs and 217 puppies.

 

In July 2015 Angela was cited with two violations:

1st. Violation:  She was using chicken medicine on the sick dogs.
2nd. Violation:  The dogs did not have enough room in the cages to turn
around.
At this inspection she had 496 dogs and 270 puppies.

 
 

B & C Kennels have also been fined $1000.00 by the Illinois Department Of Agriculture for not vaccinating the dogs for Canine Brucellosis.

B&C is also shipping dogs sight unseen without a USDA license.

We are encouraging the DeKalb and Ogle County residents to please contact the Ogle and DeKalb county board asking them NOT to support puppy mills in their counties. Please email, and or call them. Their contact info is here:

Kerry's Puppy Barn

    CAPS Kansas Director investigated Kerry's Puppy Barn in Wichita Kansas:   8/1/18   Kerry advertises her puppies on puppyfind.com.  The 2 shih Tzu puppies she had for sale were $550 cash only (14 weeks old).  I phoned Kerry and made arrangements to see her puppies on 8/1/18. When I talked to Kerry, she was on her way to her vet in Crawford County, KS (4 counties away).   I asked her why she was using a vet so far away and she indicated the vet was also a breeder.    Her KS state forms indicate her vet is Laura Moreland of Girard, KS.   Laura is the vet on the gov’s pet advisory committee.   I questioned her about any shih tzu specific health issues and she didn’t tell me about allergies that these dogs are prone to have.    Kerry said that she also bred poodles and shih tzu poodle mixes.   I told her that I was a novice dog owner and she said I should visit Petland to see the different kind of puppies (to help me decide upon a breed).   When I arrived at Ke

Barn On Baseline/Dekalb Animal Shelter

 How do you help the animals in a shelter if the Director won't let you?  How do the animals get the help they need when nobody cares?  Well we all care and are willing to do anything to improve the conditions at the shelter. This is Bert who was adopted by Drew & Katy:     Bert weighed only 3 pounds when Drew and Katy adopted him in June 2018. He sat at Barn On Baseline dying in his cage. Bert is now on the way to recovery.  According to many volunteers I've spoken with, this is not an isolated incident.    I was there on a 90 degree day in August for two hours.  The dogs were in the outside kennels barking the entire time with no water given to them. Nobody came to calm them down. In September I went in to see if there were disclosures on the cages as required by state law. There was nothing. Roberta the shelter Director told me she didn't need to disclose because the Illinois Department Of Agriculture said this was perfectly fine.
