According to Florida Court Records, animal control officers investigated Michael Breitsprecher for having, a “U-Haul box truck loaded with 20+ dogs in crates and no ventilation” and added that “dogs were in distress when the sheriffs arrived.”
The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter paid an out-of-state animal rescue to take in long-term shelter dogs, but Team 12 Investigates uncovered troubling details about that rescue’s owner and operator.
“The concern is that rescues are not regulated,” said Diane Madden, an animal activist in Nassau County. “There were some real red flags with this organization.” In August, the Town Board passed a resolution that allows the shelter to use taxpayer dollars to send animals and resources to certain rescues. It outlined a list of 144 rescue organizations that the shelter was permitted to provide resources to “for rehabilitating animals for eventual adoption” and PawsEver Home is not on the list.PawsEver Home was incorporated in Florida back in December, just three months before the Hempstead Animal Shelter transferred dogs to their care.
According to Florida Court Records, animal control officers investigated Breitsprecher for having, a “U-Haul box truck loaded with 20+ dogs in crates and no ventilation” and added that “dogs were in distress when the sheriffs arrived.”Other citations against Breitsprecher include operating illegal animal boarding facilities without permits, violating dangerous dog regulations and hindering animal control investigations.
