I've had fosters the same way. Usually it took me 8 months to get them turned around enough to be adopted into loving homes. Puppy mill dogs know nothing except the cage, so you can imagine what all they have to learn. I remember getting a little front carrier to carry them almost all day so they could see what all goes on in a home. They shake like crazy if you put them down in the big house when they are only used to a tiny cage. It takes baby steps with these guys, patience, persistence, understanding and love to turn them around.
