I just did a speech on this. Collecting is also known as hoarding, and although she does feel that she is doing the right thing, somehting has to be done.

You ahve to keep going at her, telling her to stop, if she doesn't listen and keeps getting more and more animals without the proper care, you will have to get a humane officer in there. I know this may be hard on you, and her too. But things have got to get done if she expects to keep the animals she loves right now.

Its ok if she adopts one more dog to give the pup company, but tell her not to overload, convince her to get her pets spayed and neutered. The cost may get her to lower down on the animals. Bring her to a shelter with lots of sick animals and show her what can happen.

Look up cases on the internet and show her what places look like. You have to keep convincing and telling her not to bring anymore in what so ever. Even if she feels sorry for them, they will get a good home and she doesn't have to worry.

You may also have to talk to her husband and tell him to convince her as well. If not that, then tell him to give her a talk about those things. Something has to work. Keep us updated!
