Dozens of collies rescued from fake breeder

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Dozens of dogs need medical care after being taken from a fake breeder in Tomball.

The woman misrepresented herself as a breeder in a court battle to keep them, although she did not actually sell dogs.

Volunteers with Houston Collie Rescue picked up the collies after the court ruled they were in danger because of deplorable living conditions. Some of those dogs will require medical care.

"We got back three dogs (Thursday), and the conditions of those dogs were not well. There's one of them that will be having two surgeries next week. We don't know what we're going into," Texas dog lawyer Zandra Anderson said.

Anderson says the woman surrendered 50 dogs in 2007.
