Tom Grove's Puppy Mill in South English, IA | Iowa Dog Breeder

Tom Grove is an unlicensed puppy miller in rural southeast Iowa, who breeds Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties). Ultimately, CAPS was able to get all animals at the facility rescued and into permanent homes, and the effort involved dedicated work from two rescues, an activist, and local law enforcement.
The case began when CAPS received a complaint about Grove’s facility from a civilian investigator who lives out of state and heard Grove sells sick dogs. The investigator purchased two dogs named Leo and Sheldon from Grove to determine if that was the case. The dogs were purchased remotely and were transported with a puppy shipping service to a veterinarian and ultimately to Central Illinois Sheltie Rescue. The rescue told me the dogs were scared and had worms. However, it was unlikely the vet records would prompt prosecution on a neglect case. So, after the investigator contacted CAPS, I went to visit the kennel.
