I can already hear you moaning. Pleaseyou say, not another pitiful puppy mill story. Bear with me. You can read this one without a box of tissues, because this one is going to have a happy ending.

We welcomed a 2 year old Bichon Frize, courtesy of Waggin’ Tails Animal Rescuewhich we named Patsy Cline (country music fans?).
She was a breeding female in a puppy mill in Pennsylvania. She was caged 24 hours a day, never walked on grass, and wasn’t even given a name. Patsy was brought here because she couldn’t have any more puppiesand was about to be killed for this mistake.
Here’s what we knew about Patsy:
-
She I loved to eatespecially if his meal included turkey;
-
She was incredibly healthy taking into account his previous living conditions;
-
She was learning to potty outside – our other dogs set the example;
-
She got along well great with other dogs;
-
She was disembarked – puppy mill dogs must be quiet so the mill cannot be detected;
-
After four days with us, she was wag their tails when we got home;
-
She loved dog beds – not to sleep, but to dive and continue on your way;
-
She did not require attention – she just lay down on a shoe and slept;
-
She had an appointment to be sterilized;
-
The storms didn’t bother her. Neither does the vacuum cleaner;
-
“Sit” was a concept she considered;
-
Toys were not interesting – yet;
-
A car ride was just another opportunity to relax and sleep.
Patsy was a work in progress for a whilebut you could see the dog she would eventually become: gentle, loving, gentle in nature – the best kind of companion for a discreet home. You can find a dog like Patsy on Petfinder.com.
