Give me just 5 minutes with this guy.

BASTARD!

I know this useless piece of crap, He has a beautiful 19 month old daughter , and has never done a thing for her, or helped her mother with anything. He lies so much, he believes what he says ts true. He is lucky that it was not me that found him.

We got a dog through this guy back in August. For some reason I am not suprised at this. He seemed very shady...He also did not show up when he was supposed to when we were getting the puppy fixed. So sad. Passing himself off to be helping animals....he gave us some sob story about how our puppy was rescued in TN and how the previous owner had abused him. Awful!! So glad we have at least one of these poor animals away from this guy now.

It wasn't a shelter. It was my aunt's house he rented! Get it right.

Where did the rescued dogs go? The county shelter?

Im with you Tonya...when your 5 mins are up give me my 5 mins with the guy. Unreal :(

"THANK YOU" Baltimore County State's Attorney, Baltimore County Police Department and Baltimore County Animal Control. Great Job!

Aren't these shelters regulated? Did he have a license to operate? Did the Animal Rescue Network accept donations? Where there any others employed by him? Someone had to know what was going on before things got to the point of "deplorable conditions." If he rented a house to use as a shelter, wouldn't the owner of the house know about the conditions?

Check his record on Maryland Case Search. He is deff a criminal our goverment is letting slip through every crack possible.

People like this should be given the same treatment they give these defenseless animals. There is no excuse for the actions of this subhuman dirtbag.

We got a puppy through him first week of January. When we arrived at the house it stunk so bad smelled like dog crap and they had a honey suckle candle burning to get rid of the stinch. They finally brought out the puppy that we seen on the web site and they had to give her a bath before we were able to hold her.stated she had mud on her. When they finally brought her to us she smelled so badly like dog shit we almost didn't take her. When I held her you could feel every rib on her poor body. As soon as I looked in her eyes they seemed to say please get me out of here. I knew right then I was not going to leave without her. Paid $250.00 for her took her to the vet that following Monday she was dehydraded, had round worms and blood infection. $1200.00 and still counting we are still trying to nurse her back in good health.They named her spotty, but we renamed her Bella.She is the most loving dog anyone could ask for. She appreciates everything that you do for her. We love her unconditionally. I am so happy that we got her out of those living conditions. The only thing I can say is I wish they would put Anthony Geer in a cage don't feed him let him lay in his own shit, die of hyrdation then euthanise him. Jail is too good for him. Why should our tax dollars take care of this scum bag?

That link has a lot more info bout what happened

The house was not rented to him but to his father and per the lease agreement no tenants were permitted to have animals in the house at anytime In my personal opinion anyone who would go to a home and think it was a shelter is a moron to begin with. Clearly you are in a neighborhood and there are no signs of any type of business located there. Also, just because you rent something out doesn't mean you live right by it this is why it was rented in the first place. So don't insinuate that someone is suppose to know everything that is going on everywhere at any given moment and since you gave this dipshit guy money, did you bother to file a complaint with someone at animal control afterwards yourself or did you not think to do that on your own and just allow the other dogs to continue to suffer because you got yours already? To me that would make me think that your no better than that guy is. Next time anyone decides to get a pet online they should actually do some research first because people spend their money and give it to guys like this without using any intelligent thoughts is why people can continue to make a profit doing this. if people did not buy then this most likely would not occur so often or as easily.

The father of the guy had just rented the property as of August or September of 2012 which was not very long ago so this happened rather rapidly.

A realtor was renting the home out for the owners because they had to move out of the country. I think they did all the right things in leaving their home in the hands of a so called professional realty company. The person on the rental agreement was not the person arrested although they should be as well. The renter passed a background check, but thought it was fine to move his son (a criminal) into the home with him. This guy only lived in the home since August 2012 and used the home almost immediately to do his dirty business. These criminals know how to circumvent laws and lie to people. It took several months of investigation to catch these idiots in action. Considering the renters have only been in the home about 6 months the authorities and investigators did a good job finally getting this fool out and arrested. Hopefully people won't buy animals from people where they see or smell the abuse in action. Report it people. If some of those self righteous people posting on here would report what they see then maybe some of those animals wouldn't have had to suffer or die. If you walk into a place that is deplorable then you need to report it. If you don't know the laws you cannot just throw someone out anymore. The eviction process is not immediate.

I got my puppy through BARN on Dec 27, 2012, but anthony had me go to a guys house up in Abingdon, seemed some what legit, the puppy as well had a bath before I took her , she seemed healty. I was told she was de wormed and had her kennel cough vaccine, well low and behold she ended up getting worms, kennel cough and a parasite!! she is fine now healthy, loveable and doing her puppy thing, shes great, but what I wanna know is what happens to the people who were helping him do this?

I work in a vet hospital that dealt with this guy. He lied to us and said he had adopted out about 5,000 dogs within the last 8 months. We knew it was a lie, but being a "rescue" wanted to help out anyway possible. UNTIL, we started seeing puppies from his "rescue" come back with upper respitory infections orPARVO and underweight. He also lied to people about the dogs being up to date with vaccines. They weren't. He wanted to save money. I know this because he brought us a puppy with a broken leg. We kept him in hospital for quite a while. Mr. Greer was supposed to return in 2 weeks for a cast/bandage change and recheck. 4 weeks later he came back and the puppy was COVERED in urine and feces. The bandage was saturated and falling off. The poor boy also lost 4 pounds. For a growing puppy that pretty devastating. When asked what happened he said they were told "strict restriction" so the puppy STAYED in his tiny crate all day and night for 4 weeks. The doctor gave him hell. The pup ended up being fostered by an employee because she couldn't stand the condition the dog was in. And despite his poor treatment, he would lower his head and wag his tail when you talked to him. The employee was able to place this guy the day after she picked him up to foster. He was then covered in urine and feces. He had tapeworms and was not up to date on anything. But Tony didn't want to spend that money. Those folks paid 300 bucks for that boy. FOR WHAT??!! To rescue him.

PS. The wbal interview with his lawyer bothered me. The lawyer said "he didn't make that much money"....it's a rescue...you don't PROFIT from a rescue. The money should go back into the rescue not his pocket. He also had ads on craiglist with the available dogs and pups. My work fired him. After we had him sign over a puppy with parvo that he didn't want to put that much money into. After blood transfusions and trying really hard, that tiny 4 pound puppy died alone in a kennel. We also put a puppy to sleep that a father had gotten his daughter for christmas, the day after! The poor pup was so sick from parvo. He is a cruel person. And he had fosters all over the place with his dogs. He is also associated with ECAA (known also as Dogs in Danger). Please, if you have had experiences with this monster, speak up and email or call the states attorney's office.

We adopted a puppy from him in late November. He made alot of claims similar that were stated above. He claimed he had connections and didn't need any application completed because he has ways of doing background checks on you. He never asked my name, so how does one do a background check without it. The puppy we adoped was 8 weeks old and covered in feces. He cleaned it up. Supposedly was up to date on vaccines, but we took her to vet immediately and she has worms extremely bad. Not uncommon with puppies, but her eyes were also infected. We had wanted to see all 8 puppies that he had, but he wouldn't allow us to go down to his basement to see them, for obvious reasons as stated above from other people. After reading all the comments above, this is very upsetting. It only confirms not to trust anyone any more. Very sad. But our puppy is fine and is growing.

OH

Let me see the owner being an active military member was relocated outside the USA. Since the economy is horrible the family had a difficult time selling their home and hoped to return to that home upon the end of their relocation so they decided to contact a realtor who would find a suitable tenant to rent the home until they could return to the USA. I think they did things right and used a realtor to make sure that the tenant would be background checked and an appropriate person to rent their home. So while they go on their way to serve their country and protect our freedoms a loser who passed all background checks moves their CRIMINAL son into the basement. Mind you this is August of 2012 and by Oct 2012 the owner was notified of some issues regarding dogs in the house. Authorities were contacted to remove this person from their home since it was stated that no pets were to allowed in her home. No one thought this was a puppy selling idiot. As a landlord you cannot just show up without notice and when a scheduled visit was made to investigate there were no dogs in the home. Authorities held back in order to catch the perpetrators. If the so called puppy buyers would have reported what they had seen the investigation may have ended sooner. I guess once you get a sweet pup in your hands then to hell with the other dogs that are left behind. It wasn't fun watching sick puppies be put down right before your eyes. Quit speculating it isn't very becoming.

What a horrible and sad story, poor pups. Was he associated with dogs in danger rescue/east coast adoption agency?

Monte - No, Mr Geer was not/ is not associated with Dogs In Danger Rescue, Inc/East Coast Adoption Agency Coast Adoption Agency.
