Newman our first Yorkie came from a byb/small puppymill. He would have been 10 yrs. old but passed away this past summer. We didn't know any better back then but now educated he is the reason I am so involved with rescue and trying to shut places like this and pet stores/brokers down.
Bella, Noel and Lilly were rescues. Bella we got at 5 weeks old when she was near death. She's now almost 5 yrs. old and is a beautiful healthy girl. Noel came to us at about a year old. She came from where Newman was from. She was a mess. Abused and suffering from parasites. She's now 4 yrs. old and although still very timid has come a long way. Lilly came from Burlington Animal Alliance. We found her a month after we lost Newman. She was 13 weeks old. Her $400 adoption fee covered her vetting, shots and spay. She's now almost a year old and precious.
Tia is sort of a rescue. We got her out of the newspaper and she was malnurished when we got her and extremly scared.
Jersey was bought from a neighborhood breeder. We had found out that our Newman had cancer and didn't have long with us. It was Mother's Day and my husband and two sons went to the house and came home with Jersey for me. |
