My Puppy Mill Puppy, Abigail

This is the story of my Abigail, a female Golden Retriever. We got her when she was five weeks old and it was the best decision I ever made. She was my heart and she was my friend. She was also my puppy mill puppy. We didn't know when we purchased her, but we were contacted later and the people that contacted us even offered to euthanize her since she was obviously such a disappointment. Ha! Were they crazy? I would not have given up one second of my time with her. In fact she was the reason I started my blog, Symptoms In Dogs. Because she had so many physical problems, I wanted to help others with their babies. I hope you will take the time to meet my precious little girl.

ASPCA is in Missouri Shutting Down Puppy Mills, We Need to Help | Symptoms In Dogs

Missouri is my home state. It is shocking and disgusting to me that it is also one of the largest puppy mill producing states in the Union. It hurts my heart to even think about it because as you know, my love Abigail came from one of them. We didn’t know that at the time, but it makes no difference. We rescued her but we didn’t do anything to shut them down. It must be done!

The ASPCA is in St. Clair County, Missouri. They are removing 34 dogs from another puppy mill. It marks the third time in one week that the ASPCA has been contacted to help transfer dogs and puppies from Missouri puppy mills, as well as private residences, were owners did not care for the animals properly.

This is so important, I want everyone to pay attention and stop this cruelty and inhumane treatment of innocent dogs and puppies. I HATE Puppy Mills. This is a post I made on my Symptoms In Dogs Blog.
