5/5/11 - “Is this your puppy’s mother?"
This poor sweet soul was discarded like yesterday's trash after she was used up in the breeding market for most of her life. She was purposely dropped off (see picture of her “dumper” taken by videotape. DO YOU RECOGNIZE HIM??) at Capital Area Animal Welfare Society (a shelter in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) in their gated area when the facility was closed. She was left there in the sun for about 4 hours with no food, shelter or water until someone discovered her. She was no more than a money maker for greedy breeders that have no compassion for God's creatures. She most likely had litter after litter and took care of her young the best she could under the circumstances that she lived in to have them ripped away, likely at 4 or 6 weeks of age to be sold for profit.
Sweet Ella, as she is now known, is one of the lucky ones. She was found before it was too late by one of the CAAWS volunteers and they contacted Yorkie Haven Rescue who immediately went and got her and placed her into a foster home.
We assume that Ella received little to no medical care since the results of her first vet visit were disturbing. She has missing hair from malnutrition, she had a yeast infection, an infection in her mouth, tartar filled teeth (some she'll probably lose), was severely emaciated (4.4 lbs. when she should be @ 6 lbs.), dehydrated and had ulcers in both eyes that had already ruptured inward causing scarring. She can still see, but the vet informed us that this condition was more than likely very painful to her while she had them and shortly after they ruptured.
Is this how you want to add a new puppy to your family? By letting something as loveable and sweet as Ella suffer needlessly at a human's hands. There are reputable breeders, but you need to do your homework before buying a puppy.
