Be bery aware. I am extenwjy careful who I place pups with and on the rare occasion I need to re-home a dog I dont do I dor free unless I personally know them or they have a credible reference that I know. I never want one our pups ending up in a shelter, rescue, fightjg ring, abusive, or neglectful situation.

A Man Who Searches Online for Animals to Rescue or Rehome Faces Felony Cruelty Charges

Authorities in Caldwell County have arrested Holden Miller of Lenoir after a disturbing case of animal neglect. Miller is charged with felony animal cruelty and is currently held in the Caldwell County Detention Center with no bond.

The investigation began when a tip was received that Miller had a horse tied to a tree behind his home. Officers discovered the animal about 70 yards into a wooded area without food or water, severely emaciated, and in need of immediate care. The horse and several other animals were seized, but despite treatment, the horse died.

This is not the first time Miller has faced charges. In April 2025, he was charged with three counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty, followed by another count in June 2025. Since April, authorities say nearly 170 animals have been seized from Miller’s control.

Investigators have reported that Miller actively hunts social media platforms and online marketplaces to acquire animals, often under the guise of rescue or rehoming.

⚠️ Public Advisory:
Do NOT sell, rehome, or gift any type of animal to Miller.

Here’s what you should know about dog food ingredients….

Dog Food:
INGREDIENT LIST DEFINITIONS:
Animal Digest: Unspecified animals which are cooked to a goopy broth (rendered) and used as a spray-on or added directly to the food. This is unsuitable for human consumption. The grease that rises to the top is used as a source of fat and the rest of the mash is dried and used as “meat meal”. No quality control is used and this can be a variety mix of dead, diseased, disabled, or dying prior to slaughter, goats, pigs, horses, and rats.

Artificial Coloring: Regulated by European Union but unregulated in the USA. Artificial coloring has been linked to cancer in many lab animals.

Beef By-Product: A high-protein commodity made from grinding clean, rendered parts of cow carcasses.

Beet Pulp: Pure sugar filler, leads to weight gain, hyperactivity and feeds arthritis. (Also a source of fiber).

BHA: Butylated hydroxyanisole also known as BHA is a highly controversial preservative that is used on many pet food products. BHA is linked to cancer causing agents in humans!

Brewers’ Rice: Small milled fragments of rice kernels that have been separated from the larger kernels of milled rice. Brewers’ rice contains high carbohydrate counts. This ingredient, if found in the top 5 ingredient list is not recommended for dogs with weight management issues.

Dried Brewer’s Yeast: By-Product of brewing beer. Considered safe for dogs.

Ground Yellow Corn: No nutritional value. This carbohydrate is used to simply make the product cheaper.

High Fructose Corn Syrup: A sweetener made from corn starch that has been processed by glucose isomerase to convert some of its glucose into fructose.

Meat and Bone Meal: Concentrate protein powder. The end result of animal rendering carcasses.

Poultry By-Product: A high-protein commodity made from grinding clean, rendered parts of poultry carcasses.

Propylene Glycol: Approved dog food additive used to sweeten kibble. Note: This additive is prohibited in cat food due to links of Heinz Body Anemia.

Rice Flour: Cheap filler, can cause digestive issues and can lead to diabetes in dogs.

Salt: Causes bloat in dogs if consumed in high doses. Also known to cause heart and kidney disease in dogs.

Soybean Meal: Plant based filler with limited proteins. Can cause allergic reaction in allergy sensitive dogs.

Wheat Flour: Wheat is the leading cause of dog allergies. NO nutritional value comes from wheat flour. Companies manufacture the fine particles of wheat bran, wheat germ, and the offal from the “tail of the mill.” “Tail of the mill” means the floor sweepings of leftovers in the mill after everything has been processed from the wheat.

We highly recommend a product that contains:
* High in high-quality protein (muscle meat, not pieces and parts)
* Moderate levels of animal fat. Omega 3 – 6 are excellent for your dogs health.
* High levels of EPA/DHA
* High moisture content (prey is 70 percent water)
* A few fresh cut veggies and a bit of fruit (to mimic stomach contents of prey)
* No grains (carnivores don’t have a biologic requirement for grain)
* No wads of potatoes or other starches to offset meat content

Boaz has three titles, CGC, FDC, & ATT. He is DM -/- and OFA eyes, hips, elbows are normal, fair, normal. AKC oaredtahe DNA on file.
Boaz is 8.5 years old and has turned out some magnificent pups. The oldest are now 6.5 years old.

I’m waiting for Delta or Dolly to go into heat but… sonehow I always Dolly’s cycle and I wasn’t trying to whelp puppies over Christmas.

I’m also interested in mating him to a solid black female, preferably stock or long coat or long coat carrier to breed him to.
Prefer DDR boodline or other stocky female, large head, larger solid frame and larger paws to mate hin with. No show-lines, only working lines.
I dont want crazy drive, I breed for stable predictable temperatent and most of our pups have suited well for service, obedience, or scent work.

We are wanting to keep a pup off of him, so in lieu of a stud fee I would want pick of the litter. Not sure yet if I’d want male or female. Most likely a male. I’m willing to whelp and raise pups and have a waiting list.

I also have two other males, similar resumes for both of them available for stud services.

Contact me if interested.

The “O’s” were 1 year old on the 12th and I revived birthday photos of three of them and Oscar aka Moose had a visit from his other favorite human.
Moose has his FDC
“Opie” has his Star Puppy, CGC, Trick Dog, and FDC.
Bella is a spoiled house baby.
Ollie has had quite a bit of training but I’m not sure about titles. He has pretty much perfect temperament and structure.

We are so proud of this pup from our “O” litter.
While we have titled some of our personal dogs, this is the first buyer to inform us they’ve titled their puppy. They even sent us a rosette/ribbon.
Our puppy parents often become like family, and his parents certainly have.

(I covered the parents names for privacy as they do not use social media).

This sweet boy (originally known as Opie) from our “O” litter just completed his Star Puppy. He’d hsvd had it dooner but this was an oops litter and thd paternity yestd took a while. Turned out Libby hooked up with Hugo. Thankfully since he was the best match for her.
“Opie” will be entering his first scent trial soon.
His family isn’t on social media, so out of respect I put a cute emoji on his dad for privacy.
We are very proud and know he is destined to great things.

Our dogs will NEVER be in a shelter. Our contracts say that you can NOT surrender or rehome a dog you got from us without our approval and we have first right of refusal Theo Ruth training or whatever id needed.

This is what it looks like when you surrender your dog to a shelter. This dog was dropped off to the shelter after being in a quiet home, with a bed and a family. This is diarrhea from having an upset stomach. Ever been so anxious to the point where you get sick to your stomach? This is a 24/7 feeling for a dog who has been surrendered. “Where is my family?” “Why am I in a cage?” “Why are all these dogs barking at me…?”

Imagine one day you’re taken from your luxurious life and thrown in a prison like place for no reason. Never to see your family again.

Did you know 50% of dogs who are surrendered to a shelter don’t make it out alive. Pets are a lifelong commitment. Do NOT get an animal if you cannot financially, emotionally, or physically care for them.

This picture is not my kennel. However, EVERY surrendered dog does this at a shelter. They would do it in mine too. It's heartbreaking.
