Some of the smaller dogs were emaciated and living amid their own excrement with little or no water in small portable kennels stacked inside a deteriorating wood and metal barn with a temperature of 114 degrees at 11 a.m., Animal Services Sgt. Nicky Wapner said. "They’re suffering from neglect," she said. "A lot of the dogs were starved, dehydrated and weak just from the heat out here." From 40 to 45 Great Danes were among the 90 dogs found on the property, located off Markham Street a few blocks west of Wood Road. Many of them looked healthy but were kept in chain-link pens about 6 feet by 10 feet. Plastic doghouses were inside some pens. The woman running the operation, Antonia Angela White, 49, was convicted twice before for kennel violations; once in December and once two years ago today, according to county court records. Both of those cases related to violations at a property in the 17900 block of Haines Street, near Riverside National Cemetery. Wapner said Animal Services had lost track of White but found her about three months ago through an unrelated call to a nearby property. Officials tried to work with White to get her to bring the conditions at the Markham Street property up to code but she did not cooperate, Wapner said. Also arrested were Phyllis Williams, 58, of Ontario, and Lois Dolan, 54, who is believed to be a transient living on the property. Williams and White co-own Danehaven, a Great Dane breeding operation, Wapner said. Dolan worked for them. According to a white board that Wapner said was used at pet adoptions outside pet stores, Danehaven charged $250 to $300 per dog. The Markham Street property that White and Williams lease has no house, just weeds, trees, the ramshackle barn and the pens. On Thursday, it was littered with rubbish and stacked with empty plastic dog carriers, boxes holding 30 13.2-ounce cans of dog food, cat litter, unassembled metal kennels, fencing materials, dirty blankets and towels, liver-flavored dog training treats, flea and tick insecticide for dogs, and an old skiff. Dog feces covered parts of the barn floor and insect-covered fly strips and bursting flytraps hung inside the structure. The entire operation was a health hazard, Wapner said. "You should’ve seen the rats that scattered when we lifted up the doghouses," she said. Neighbor Sue McNamara said she and her family knew there were dogs next door but not 90. "At times it was pretty loud," she said. When they complained to White, she would do her best to keep the dogs quiet, McNamara said. Animal Services took all 90 dogs to county facilities, where they would be given thorough checkups, Wapner said. The ailing canines would be brought back to health if possible, she said. "I do think they’ll be OK," Wapner said. Case Updates A Riverside woman found guilty of animal cruelty and neglect has been sentenced to three years of probation and community service. Antonia Angela White, 51, was convicted last December for her mistreatement of more than 90 dogs on her property. Officials said she kept the dogs, 40 of them Great Danes, in squalid conditions. The dogs were seized in July 2007 on a day that reached 100 degrees. Many of the dogs had no access to water, according to officials. According to Animal Services spokesman John Welsh many of the dogs also did not have proper shelter. One of the conditions of White’s probation is that she not keep more than four dogs and that she never be allowed to own or operate a kennel or rescue facility in California. According to Animal Services, many of her dogs were kept in a barn without ventilation and some were left to sleep in piles of waste, replete with maggots. "Any reasonable person who saw the conditions that day would have been horrified," said Animal Services Captain Tammie Belmonte in December. "Even the veteran sheriff’s deputies who assisted us that day were disgusted."

Antonia Angela "Angel" White, Phyllis Williams and Lois Dolan were arrested after Riverside County Department of Animal Services seized 92 dogs from a property in unincorporated Riverside County near Mead Valley. The three are out on $5,000 bail each, Riverside Superior Court records showed. Dolan said Thursday that there are two sides to the story. "These dogs are loved," Dolan said Thursday night by phone. "These dogs are taken care of." Some of the seized dogs were emaciated and living amid their own excrement with little or no water in small portable kennels stacked inside a deteriorating wood and metal barn in the 100-plus degree heat, Animal Services Sgt. Nicky Wapner said in July.
