Operator of kennel where 29 dogs died in fire faces animal cruelty charges

July 12, 2019

There's "no question" the conditions of a Carol Stream-area kennel contributed to the deaths of 29 dogs in a Jan. 14 fire, DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said Thursday. Woodridge resident Garrett Mercado, operator of The Bully Life Animal Services, formerly known as D & D Kennels, now faces 28 misdemeanor charges -- 14 counts of animal cruelty and 14 counts of violation of owner's duties -- stemming from the early morning blaze.
