Ladyj,
Roo was around nine years old when we adopted him. He has some deep seated issues that he will probably have always. He was used as a stud dog and only four pounds. It has been so rewarding for me to work with him and show him what a dogs life is supposed to be. He has given me his trust now so I cannot ever let him down. Our other two yorkies are not mill dogs and Roo has watched them and their behavior. It has helped. Alot of mill dogs will attach themselves to their caregiver more than others in the household. He is not too fond of my husband or men in general so I assume that men probably handled him the most. It saddens me so when I think of these babies torturous lives and how they struggle to survive. All in the name of greed!! God willing we will adopt another mill dog but for now three are enough as I have horses that require my attention as well. Once again, bless you for adopting her.
