The Van Buren County Sheriff’s Department says it’s got its eye on a Great Dane breeder in Waverly Township after getting complaints from the public.
The department tells us it’s been investigating reports of animal abuse and neglect at the property due to numerous tips. However, it says its investigation has found the animals in question have received care from a veterinarian for their health issues. The department has not specified what those issues are.
Sheriff’s deputies are now doing regular welfare checks at the breeder, while animal control is also monitoring the situation.
The sheriff’s department says if it finds any crimes, the matter will be brought to the prosecutor.
