Bless you for adopting dogs that need lots of love, patience, training, etc. We also only adopt from shelters or rescue groups! Please don't buy from pet stores unless you like supporting the cruelty of puppy mills! And, they all come from puppy mills no matter how much they say they don't... Adopt, you'll get a pet who's loyal and grateful forever...

Thanks aprilh, I have not adopted these dogs but am working to rehab them for others to adopt. I started with 7 last april from the same puppymill and presently have only 3 of the original ones left with me. (the others were adopted) and one of these 3 is scheduled for his new forever home soon. Everything you wrote is absolutely correct. Good for you for adopting your pets. Rewarding, isn't it! blesses to you

Carolyn: Thank you for rescuing these babies. And, an extra thank you for the patience of you and your husband to allow the dogs their space to find comfort in your home and the space to begin to trust you. The tedious undertaking of training a mill rescue -- not one but two -- at the same time is a labor of love without a doubt. Wow... my deepest appreciation to you both.  -- Midwest, StL Mo --

thanks bigfanx..well, actually it's not been two but seven and one (Breeze) had a litter of puppies shortly after arriving ..so for a while 6 puppies too (all adopted easily)..but poor Breeze.. all the stress of everything plus being a mommy too! thanks again for your kind words...it is enriching our lives.

Thank you. Happy to say that Toffee has come a great way since this clip and is now adopted and in a forever loving home. Isn't that great?!! Now must get busy with the rest in my care. thank you for caring

Poor sweet Toffee still seems so mistrusting. It took our chihuahua mix many months to allow us to put our arms around him or faces close to kiss him without growling. It took over a year before he was confident enough to sleep in bed with us. We have a deep and sincere respect for rescuers and fosters. You have made such awesome progress with Breeze!

Oh my . . . what wonderful progress you have made with these furkids!

It never ceases to amaze how these poor angels can come from such horrific conditions and learn somehow to ever trust humans again. Great job Carolyn. By the way . . . I love the music, especially the song played as you walked into the kitchen with the kids. It says so much about rescue and it certainly brought tears to my eyes. Hugs to all the Aussies!!
