Inspection Drama Unfolds in SoCal

Linda Blair is speaking out after Los Angeles County authorities paid a visit to her property to investigate a reported kennel operation. According to People, the inspection that took place on July 31 was a coordinated effort involving the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control, the county's Department of Regional Planning, and the district attorney's office, all stopping by for a quick "hello." Their mission? To assess the conditions of Blair's property and ensure her pet haven was up to snuff with county animal-care, permit, and zoning regulations.

Permit Snags and Doggy Drama

Rumor has it that more than 100 dogs were living it up on Blair's property, though the numbers are more bark than bite until officially confirmed. Turns out, Blair's kennel permits had expired in 2023, and county agencies weren't able to get in touch with her despite their dogged attempts. This led to their impromptu inspection.

Blair herself was present and cooperative, and thankfully, no pups were asked to vacate the premises. As of the latest scoop, no criminal charges have been made public.

Blair's Side of the Story

Linda Blair took to Instagram to clear the air, sharing that both she and her furry friends are doing just fine despite the early morning surprise in the midst of a SoCal heatwave. "The issue was just some outstanding paperwork and site diagrams," Blair explained, adding that she's got big plans to move her rescue operation to a larger facility where she can amp up her educational efforts and help even more animals.
