Description
It is difficult to know whether this dog is a purebred Poodle or a purebred Maltese. He was surrendered by a breeder in Lancaster County on January 31. A child of Pennsylvania's notorious Puppy Mills, this little dog came to us with mange, ulcers in his eyes, malnourished, dehrydrated, and with a bacterial infection in his intestinal tract. In spite of all the cruelty he has faced in his life, this little fellow, whom we are calling "Shrimp," is loving and incredibly sweet. He is currently on six different kinds of medications but his spirits remain high. Please think about this dog, and all the other dogs imprisoned in our state's Commercial Breeding facilities, when you see that cute little puppy in the pet store window. More than nine out of ten puppies sold in pet stores come from Puppy Mills. Shrimp remained behind for years while his babies went to market. And please support the new proposed kennel regulations that Rescue Organizations across PA are trying to get passed. Regulations that would increase cage size for dogs like Shrimp, require breeders to exercise their dogs for twenty minutes every day, and revoke the licenses of individuals convicted of Animal Cruelty.
