Dozens Of Collies Seized At Tomball Home

U.S. District Judge David Jones signed an order Friday allowing Houston Collie Rescue to remove dogs from the property of Dr. Elaine Kmiec, an optometrist. Among the maladies she noticed were ear infections, demodectic mange, overgrown nails, "hot spots" due to fleas and the smell of urine in their coats. There were puddles of urine inside the house, creating an odor that lingered on the dogs and on the volunteers who handled them, she said. Financial donations can be made through the group's Paypal account on its website or by mail at Houston Collie Rescue, P.O.
