I love these stories too, God bless you guys for taking these special furballs in your home a giving them a new chance at life.
Before i got Harley i use to go on petfinder.com for months trying to get a yorkie, but every dog i wanted was to far away, they wouldn't ship the pets, or i needed a fenced yard...  i wish i could of adopted all of them and some of the sad stories of people abusing them, breading them almost to death,  tore me up.  I am just glad for people like you that would give a "troubled pet" another chance...
