Pet Hoarder Had Puggle

You may have heard the recent news about the New Jersey animal hoarder whose whom was stuffed with a veritable menagerie, including twenty-four large exotic birds. This individual, who likely suffers from a mental illness, created a situation that the family could no longer tolerate.

Fortunately, it doesn't appear as if the guy was mistreating the animals. The birds, for instance, were all found in clean, well-kept cages. That's good news, because many hoarders are unable to care for their compulsively-collected "mini farms".

The puggle tie-in?

It wasn't just birds in Cumberland County. The gentleman in question had dogs, too--including a puggle. According to a NJ.com article, the puggle is currently available for adoption.

Here's hoping that all of the feathered and furry friends find great new homes. And that the hoarder finds the help he needs, too!
