PUPPY MILL RESCUE
OPEN YOUR HEARTS & OPEN YOUR MINDS
NMDR made a run to pick up a group of mostly terriers from a commercial breeder and returned to Colorado. After texting with Theresa, arrangements were made to pick up 5 of the dogs. 3 Wire Fox Terriers and 2 Welsh Terriers. All are 6 to 9 years old. Heartbreaking that dogs are forced to live years, sometimes their entire life, in these conditions for breeding and selling puppies. Gratitude and empathy should go out to Rescues who help commercial breeding dogs escape the torture and sadness. National Mill Dog Rescue rescues and rehabilitates an insane number of dogs every year. They are all free now and so deserve to live as pets and experience what love, human touch and kindness is all about. We had to postpone the pickup due to the snowstorm and the dogs received amazing care while waiting and a much needed groom. Our transporter picked up the Fabulous Five early morning on February 23rd and made his way back to Iowa and Illinois. The Wire Fox Terriers are TASHA, JADE & PATRICK and they will be fostered and cared for at WFTRM Iowa. The Welsh Terriers are BRUNO & MIDDGE andthey will be fostered and cared for at WFTRM Chicago.
We call this Group - THE FABULOUS FIVE

Bruno is one of the Fabulous Five rescued from a puppy mill. He is a very stoic and grateful Welsh Terrier boy who is 9 years old. He spent most of his life in a breeding kennel in the Midwest, caged and used to stud puppies. He begs for physical human touch and companionship and is very humble with his requests. He will come right up and give the sweetest kisses and wait. Bruno is in heaven getting neck and behind the ear massages, he leans in and closes his eyes to savor every second. His coat is beautiful and thick with a large tuft of soft curls on the top of his head. He reminds me of a big snuggly teddy bear. The black on his nose is from rubbing on the cage bars pleading to be set free. Each day he gets better at making eye contact, but unsure why I point my phone at him. Bruno is such a polite and well-mannered Welsh, very friendly with everyone he meets. His tail wags too fast greeting all the other dogs here. Even blind Zazu gets in the action and not sure whose tail is buzzing faster. He is a taller boy but so majestic and weighs about 23 pounds. He is a good eater and was starving on first arrival and so hungry. Bruno loves exploring the big fenced yard with Midge, checking out all the corners and smiling as he runs. He is so well adapted and comes when called and runs right back in the house. He is a cuddler and enjoys lounging with you on a bed or couch. He is a love bug and even grooms Midge licking her back and ears. His first few days he would lay on the floor as he never had a bed but he has now realized that big donut bed that Midge took full advantage of day one was very comfy. Bruno is a sound sleeper but do hear him in the middle of the night repositioning or getting a drink of water. I cannot express enough words to describe how wonderful he is, loving and appreciative for a safe, warm and affectionate home. He has been to the animal hospital for Neuter surgery, with absorbable sutures, full dental cleaning with 2 extractions only, growth removal from his lower eyelid, full blood panel, heartworm test negative, Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella Vaccinations, Microchipped and is on Revolution. His blood work was great with one liver value elevated and is on Denamarin for 14 days. He is a Healthy Gorgeous Welsh Terrier boy who happens to love cheese! Bruno will be such a joy and heartfelt reward to his lucky Forever Home.
BRUNO & MIDGE
Midge is one of the Fabulous Five rescued from a puppy mill. She is a petite little Welsh Terrier girl who is an absolute doll. She is 7 years old and weighs a mere 16.8 pounds. She is outgoing, friendly and affectionate giving kisses so sweetly. She looks at me with her soulful milk dud eyes that convey her message right to my soul. She begs for acceptance and your love and care. Midge has a lovely, lush coat with a similar tuft of soft curls on her noggin. She is outgoing and very friendly and when she is on the go - she prances like a show pony. She will explore the back yard with Bruno and come running right back inside. She is curious, nosey and is my shadow following me everywhere. Her favorite thing that fulfills her dream is to sit on my lap all day long ever so calmly. Midge is also a cuddle bug, curling up nice and close for touch and kindness. She loves the big fur donut bed and curls up tight. The blanket is pushed out on the floor every morning though. She is a good eater, enjoying turkey treats which they never experienced before and now that her mouth is feeling great. Midge rides in the car nicely and very well behaved on a leash and is the perfect little companion and could not be any sweeter. The big black box hanging off the wall mesmerizes her, she has no clue what a television is and whether to be nervous or enjoy watching it. Midge has been to the animal hospital for Spay surgery, with absorbable sutures, full dental cleaning with 3 extractions only, full blood panel, heartworm test negative, Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella Vaccinations, Microchipped and is on Revolution. Her blood work was great with one liver value elevated and is on Denamarin for 14 days. Midge will be your heart dog, one that will be treasured for a lifetime to her fortunate Forever Home.
