After 40 dogs seized in Delaware County, charges filed against breeder
The Delaware County dog warden has filed 30 misdemeanor charges against a dog breeder after 40 dogs living chained outside were removed Sunday afternoon from his property near Sunbury.
The charges, filed Thursday in Delaware County Municipal Court, accuse the man of violating Ohio’s laws about companion animals and failing to register dog kennels at the property on the 7400 block of Kilbourne Road.
A warrant is pending on the complaint, court records state, and his bond is set at $2,500.
All of the charges are first-degree and second-degree misdemeanors. The former each carry a maximum penalty of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, and the latter each carry up to 90 days in jail and a $750 fine.
Delaware County Dog Warden Mitchell Garrett cannot comment on open cases, a spokesperson for the Delaware County Commissioners said in an email.
Garrett has previously said the 40 dogs were living outside on the property chained in wet and muddy conditions with plastic barrels for shelter against the weather, and that most of the dogs removed were underweight. Officials had received multiple complaints about the property since 2020, but were previously unable to act, according to Garrett.
Garrett said there were previously as few as six dogs living at the property and they were being taken care of within the standards of the law.

Authorities were able to secure a warrant after a witness came forward Friday willing to make a statement using their name, Garrett said.
Videos and images of the dogs chained outside went viral on social media on Saturday in between the recent complaint being made and authorities raiding the property.

After a bacterial contamination led to a massive recall of infant formula in 2022, parents faced widespread shortages and price hikes. Formula is still unaffordable for many new parents. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said in just the past year, the cost of baby food and formula has gone up more than 8%.
The First State is giving away the last of the infant formula it had ordered from overseas last year as part of an initiative by Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long to get the food to desperate parents unable to find it on grocery shelves.
That effort saw 44,000 canisters of formula shipped into Delaware from Australia last year. Parents in high-poverty areas were first limited to one 28-ounce can, but that limit has since been removed. There are about 12,500 canisters left, with statewide distribution points. This size canister can produce 20–24 bottles, Hall-Long said.
One of those distribution partners is the Food Bank of Delaware. CEO Cathy Kanefsky said that while supply has rebounded, scarcity is still an issue.
“If you don’t find it, call the Food Bank because we can make sure that we do have it,” she said at a Harper’s Heart event to raise public awareness of the state’s remaining cache of formula. “We do mobile distributions throughout the communities in Delaware as well. But again, we want to make sure that it’s not in a truck or on a shelf, it’s in your home.”
Abbott Nutrition voluntarily recalled several infant formulas in early 2022, leading to nationwide supply disruptions across the U.S. In a report issued by the Federal Trade Commission in March, the agency blamed the concentration of the market as a contributing factor. Abbott, Mead Johnson and Gerber controlled about 84% of the manufacturing of formula that year.
In a statement accompanying the report, members of the FTC said “families often have little choice when it comes to infant formula brands and can be highly sensitive to price hikes and supply disruptions.” There are also specialty types of formulas which can be more sensitive to supply changes because they help babies who have special needs, including digestive issues, allergies and metabolic disorders.
