The Putnam County sheriff’s office joined officials with the state agriculture department in the seizure of 172 dogs from an Eatonton dog dealer. County authorities say some of the dogs were found to be in bad condition on the dealer’s premises, with some dogs in cages stacked four high. Authorities say the dealer’s license was not current, and rabies shots for the dogs were not up-to-date. The dealer has not been charged. Some dogs have been taken-in by the Putnam County Animal Control--the rest turned over to animal rescue organizations.
