150 Bulldogs dropped off at the Lancaster, CA animal shelter...

Just saw this on Cesar Millan's facebook page.  I tried calling the shelter, but I can't get through...it appears to be legit from other people calling.  I really hope the number is not this high! I can't imagine how these puppy mill places can live with themselves knowing this is the result of what they do!  If you can and live in SoCal please try and adopt!

Actually, only 2 are purebred Bulldogs and in terrible shape. The rest are mutts, Pitbulls and American Bulldogs.  Here's a statement from the SoCal Bulldog rescue, who did take the only 2 Bulldogs there:

We have been following the very sad story of the "Lancaster Bulldogs" for the past couple week and in fact volunteers have been to the shelter a couple times to inquire about these 150,along with other bulldogs in this same shelter.

Since this has started over two weeks ago, we have only found two dogs that were English Bulldogs and took those two into rescue, naming them Paris and Niki. One of them was so bad, she required over $1,800 in surgery to have her ear canals removed. The other female had just finished having a litter (pups with the breeder we presume) and still had stitches in her when we took her in.

The majority of the Lancaster 150 are proving to be mixed breeds consisting mostly of American Bulldogs, Staffies and other bull type breeds, even many of those are deformed from poor breeding or bad line breeding's. So Cal Bulldog Rescue is so full with our English Bulldogs in rescue, regretfully we don't have the extra space for other breeds at this time.

Our sources with the shelter, tell us the breeder is bring in dogs over a period of time so not to get fined and this trickle of dogs will continue for a while. There are several all-breed rescues along with us that are carefully watching the developments as this unfolds over the next weeks.

If anyone has additional information or timely updates, please let us know.

Thank you!

Spoke to Rescue yesterday at the bulldog beauty contest. They r placing them into fosters as fast as can be. Also an animal hoarder in Mohave (about 30 min outside lancaster) has turned over even more, the rescue I vol with has taken those dogs. It's a hot mess for sure  alot of puppy mills in these areas. Also dog fighting. Very sad indeed!
