My Parents rescued a mini schnauzer about 9 yrs ago. They adopted her at 7 months old. She too had been kept in a cage...was marked as a breeder. She was very timid around EVERYBODY. It took MONTHS for her to come out of that. She never ever bit, growled, barked or went to the bathroom in the house. She was the best little dog I have ever seen. Sadly Heidi passed away within this past year. Heidi had A LOT of health issues.
Please be patient. Mill puppies that have lived their lives in cages need A LOT of TLC and patience.
