One of the Mini Australian Shepherds surrendered by a Live Oak breeder gets a hug from Marissa Segundo of the SPCA Tampa Bay. The dogs are not yet available for adoption.
LARGO – The SPCA Tampa Bay last week assisted in a dog breeder surrender in the Suwanee County town of Live Oak, just east of Tallahassee.

The SPCA shelter in Largo took in half of the dogs that were surrendered by the breeder.

They included Australian Shepherds, Mini Australian Shepherds, Border Collies and Pomeranians.

Most of the dogs are adults, though there are a few younger dogs, and while they appear to be in good physical condition, they are undergoing evaluation at the SPCA.

The dogs have spent most of their lives in cages, so they will need a lot of tender loving care, first at the SPCA and in SPCA foster homes.
