Paris Hilton investigated for owning 17 dogs

Poor Paris…she was so proud of her dogs that she boasted about owning 17 dogs and now she’s in trouble with the LA Animal Services Department and is being investigated!

Boasted in an interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Monday, February 11 about owning 17 pets, Paris Hilton’s love for the dogs landed her at the center of a new Los Angeles Department of Animal Services investigation.

Paris’ chat-show stop was meant to promote her box-office bomb “The Hottie and the Nottie” when the hotel heiress and socialite ended up telling chat show host Ellen all about the extent of her pooch collection without even realizing that it was indeed illegal to have more than three dogs at any one non-kennel, non-breeder, residential address in Los Angeles.

Being asked about her pooches, Paris told Ellen “Oh my goodness. I have 17 dogs” and explained further “They keep having babies, and I feel bad to give them away ’cause I feel like if I had a baby and someone gave it away, it’d be mean. So, I feel bad for my dogs.”

Soon following her dog boast on the chat-show, the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services paid a visit to Paris’ home Tuesday, February 12 upon receiving a complaint from an animal rescue group about the star’s dogs. Nevertheless, the visit resulted in nothing as Paris’ home was under serious construction with nobody, including pets, was living there. The Los Angeles Department of Animal Services only left word with a maid and has yet issued any statement concerning the investigation.

    Why don’t you ask Paris to consider holding an auction to the highest bidder for 14 out of her 17 dogs? Then, she can take the proceeds and donate all of them to the Craniosynostosis foundation. This is the charity that Cher supports to help children who are in need of facial reconstruction. It would be a great fundraiser for them, and no doubt the dogs would go to some families who are able to give them more love and attention. And, she’d have the chance to make a profound difference to the lives of children who are in great need! THAT would be awesome!

    If the dogs are healthy and happy leave her alone. It’s better than having the dogs in a shelter.
