Annie's arrival...

This little girl's story just about broke my heart... She had seven 5-week old puppies and was left at the shelter by the backyard breeder... Without her puppies as four had already been sold... For whatever reason the breeders decided to bail her back out (maybe the other three puppies weren't do so well being taken off their mom so early?... Dunno).. Annie had been in the shelter for a week by then, loaded with milk sacks that hung to the floor and became available...

The backyard breeders didn't want to pay for a breeder's permit, nor did they want to pay for the board and care... As for me? I didn't want to see Annie sentenced yet again to the rest of her life being nothing more than a brood mare, being breed for profit, so I was determined to get her out of the shelter!

Annie spent yet another week in the shelter as they waited for the backyard breeders to show proof they were indeed the owners... But apparently they did not (or could not), so Annie came home with me after getting spayed on May 26th... Even in pain from the spay, she was wagging her tail at us the very first night! And she has the cutest expressions on her face with the one ear that flops over and the other that stands upright!



Annie's a dream... A pure dream!
