“Belle is a rescue dog who spent 5 years in a kennel producing approximately 8 litters of puppies. When we got her she could barely run in the yard without toppling over due to lack of muscle tone in her legs. She has been with us 8 months now and with lots of walking while camping and romping in the yard she has built up strong leg muscles. She is the most mellow dog we have ever met. Winnie on the other hand has been with us 3 months now and is afraid of men due to abuse and is possibly a puppy mill dog. Winnie has become my velcro dog and loves to play with Belle and other guest dogs that come to our home. Winnie is a big challenge for my husband due to her extreme fear. She sits between us on the love seat and will let him pet her and will go outside with him now without me having to go along. When in the mood Winnie will take treats from his hand but he still cannot hold her or pick her up and snuggle with her like I can. I sure wish they could talk and tell us the true stories of their past, I am sure it would be heartbreaking! But we prefer to look at what a happy future they will have!”
