Cairo, GA – A Georgia dog breeder left dogs to die in pens after being evicted from his home. According to the Grady County Sheriff’s Office, a neighbor alerted the authorities about several dogs who were locked in pens, without food or water, because John Mark Morrell Jr., a dog breeder, had moved out and left them behind.
