Sterling Heights Police and Animal Control raided a Sterling Heights Kennel April 23, 2008. Several rescues were called in to help, including All About Animals Rescue. Most of the sick animals went to Serenity Animal Hospital where they were treated and released, many of them receiving extensive medical treatment.

How can I adopt one of the dogs or cats?

The animals are available for adoption! We have them posted on our Petfinder site and identified by the word "Kennel" after their names.

Macomb County Prosecutor's pressed charges against the kennel owne and she plead guilty, click here to read more about it.

What pets left do you have from the Kennel Raid?

We have 2 Dobermans, male and female. Several cats, some are feral so we are looking for people that feed and house them outside where they will be most comfortable. We have two small Jack Russel Terrier sthat are still looking for a home.

How to help - Updated 6/10/08

We need letters of support of a stiff sentencing and penalities for Ms. Brubaker. Lorri Nichiow Brubaker will be sentenced on July 24, Monday, at 8:30 a.m. in Macomb County Circuit Court. The sentencing is for 3 counts animal cruelty, second offense which are felonies. The case is assigned to Macomb County Circuit Court Judge David Viviano. Judge Viviano will impose the sentancing.

Ms. Brubaker should go to JAIL - please encourage the Judge and Prosecutor that an example must be set. Ms. Burbaker should not be allowed to operate a kennel anywhere or allowed to own animals.

Directions to the courthouse for the sentencing.

Professionally written letters on the subject of sentence may be mailed to Judge David Viviano, Macomb County Circuit Court, 40 N. Main Street, Mt. Clemens Michigan 48043. Reference Case No. 2008-002554-FH, People vs Nichiow-Brubaker, Lorrie. Speak up on behalf of the voiceless and make certain that she will never again profit from the suffering of dogs and cats.

Ms. Brubaker showed up for her arraingment in flip flops, a casual dress and her toe nails nicely painted. She was laughing and very relaxed while she waited. Please send letters or come speak at her sentencing, we need to convince the Judge that this woman needs to be stopped, she didn't take the first time seriously and she didn't this time either. This is already the second time for her and your tax payer dollars were spent in defending her.

We also need cat nip toys cat nip, cat scratchers, blankets and, towels. The kitties got their first ever taste of cat nip and went wild with happiness. They were practically bouncing off the walls with delight and it seemed to us that it may have been the happiest day of their lives. We'd like to provide the kitties with lots of happiness, so any help would be appreciated!
