This is what a puppymill breeder female looks like (graphic)
 

Please take a look at this Petfinder ad that I just found. It breaks my heart to think of how many more there are just like her. This is the reason that Puppymills need to be put out of business! :(

Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie: Sasha: Petfinder

It is really so sad. This is the rescue were we adopted Lane. :)

Sasha has come quite a long way since I've been browsing the APR website. Thank goodness for the rescues who take these girls in and help them heal...

I should add that she isn't up for adoption yet. They've been trying to get her skin condition under control, but she has managed to grow a little bit of fur back.

Oh that poor girl. :( I hope that she is able to find a good home soon. It is truly heartbreaking, especially to hear the description of how much love she still has to give to someone.

I can't look at these things but I hope and pray this girl get's a
loving forever home.
For the life of me I can't understand why puppymills are allowed
to exist:mad: They must make lot's of $(taxes) for our government which
may be why they still do exist, I answered my own question!

OMG.

These pictures slay me. I can't imagine what that poor girl has been through.

If pictures like this motivate people to get involved and do something, then we really are honoring the suffering this little girl went through. :(

That just makes me want to cry. I feel so bad for this dog. Puppymills need to be stopped! I have never and will not ever buy from a pet store. I have adopted dogs in the past...I want to make sure that I do my part to make sure that this stops!

That picture breaks my heart; yet she's one of the lucky ones, her torture has finally ended.

The poor baby!!! :eek:

I hope the she finds peace and a wonderful forever home to be loved on and spoiled. This breaks my heart!!! :(

Poor little girl!

But doesn't she look so happy in the second photo, with her tongue all the way out?? :)

That's heart wrenching.

This is such a sad reality, and to think that I can't even squish a bug. How can people do this to living beings :(

That's what I was going to say! Look at all the love in her pretty little eyes. She's a pretty girl.

I am speechless.
I will take down all puppy mills!!!

That poor little girl. I have to say that she looks so much better (and happier) in the later photos. It's beyond sad what some of these babies go through. Back in the 80's, we rescued a Doberman (Caesar) from a neglectful owner. Believe it or not, he looked worse than Sasha. He was still a puppy (about 8 months old) when we got him. He was covered with red mange over 100% of his body. He had no hair and his skin was crusty flakes with pus oozing out of it. His skin had so many folds in it, he looked like a Bloodhound. He stunk to high heaven and he had ran a temp for so long that he was brain damaged. We took him to the vet who diagnosed his problem and then told us it was best to euthanize him but, if we didn't, to never bring him back to his office. We took him home and nursed him back to health. It took 2 years but we got his skin cleared up to where he grew a nice coat and he filled out enough so that the folds were gone. He didn't live a 'full' life but we had him for 9 years and he was one of the happiest, most loving dogs ever. I certainly hope Sasha finds the perfect home. Whoever gets her will be rewarded 100 times over. The capacity for love in dogs such as these is amazing and it will be the new owner that is lucky.
