PARKERSBURG, W.Va. -- Just weeks after about 1,000 dogs were rescued from a Parkersburg-area kennel, West Virginia lawmakers are working to draft legislation to regulate such operations.

Senator Donna Boley says there isn't much in state law regarding kennels. The Pleasants County Republican says she and other legislators are working with humane society officials to come up with a plan. Boley is also gathering information from other states with kennel regulations.

Once a bill is drafted, it will be presented during next year's regular legislative session.

Late last month, the owner of Whispering Oaks kennel surrendered her dogs to humane officials after authorities determined that many animals couldn't be properly cared for there. The dogs were in good health overall and are being put
up for adoption.


Notice the dogs were said to be in good overall health but the Humane Officals "determined" (not the owner which had them in good health)that the owner couldn't take proper care of them. Kind of a contradiction.


Better get on the phone with your delagate or senator and put an end to it.
