A last-minute call to action was issued when it was learned that a commercial dog breeding facility (a puppy mill) would soon be opening in Barrington, New York. The proprietor of that business would be a man who was recently convicted of animal cruelty while operating a, now closed, puppy mill in Pennsylvania.
But…. dedicated dog lovers and advocates for puppy mill dogs made their voices heard! They immediately shared the story via social media, wrote letters and made phone calls. And among them is one person who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, Susan Chana Lask, animal rights attorney and New York state resident.
After all the opposition, the convicted animal abuser withdrew his application for a special use permit to operate the dog breeding facility in Barrington.
Susan had this to say, “For the past 3 days, non-stop, I wrote letters, investigated, worked with the Town of Barrington residents, the Department of Agriculture. Thank you to everyone for your support, too! This is a dream … and I am not finished shutting every one of them down!”
Kudos to Susan Chana Lask for working so hard to make this happen.
Thank you Susan Chana Lask and all the volunteers. This was no easy task. Harley – from heaven – is surely pleased. His mission to close every last puppy mill is continuing!

Thank you. Good job.
What good news, now we just have to get the rest of the states to do the same!
The best news ever thank you Susan and everyone who worked so hard. Susan your little dog is so cute looks like my Granddog Roxy.
I wish with all my heart that ALL puppy mills could be shut down.
Great news. Thanks to all who participated in closing down this puppy mill
this is a fantastic victory – with more to come
Wonderful news! One town at a time, one county at a time, one state at a time will be how puppy mills will be stopped!
These soulless puppymillers need to be on a registry so that when they apply for permits…they’ll automatically be denied…. People shouldn’t have to search for them or worry that they’re sneaking in under the radar. Massive kudos to everyone who put forth effort to shut this one down!!
Thank you from the Uk 🇬🇧
