There are plenty of members on YT with puppymill dog that are cute and doing well. But who would purchase a puppy knowing that is the conditions they came from  |
But, being in Rescue, as you know Puppy Mill dogs that are adopted through Rescue are given veterinary care and are healthy and socialized before being put up for adoption.
When I fostered Dachsies through the dachsie rescue group,(I ended up keeping most of them) my "Spice Girls" of the three of them one was healthy (the youngest one) but she did have a club foot and could run like the wind on three legs. The other two had heartworms, and Cinnamon only lived for a few weeks. Ginger (club foot) and Nutmeg both lived to be 17 and 18 years old. I had them for 10 of those years.
