Adopting and Loving

This little lady was kept in a puppy mill for the first 4-5 years of her life.  There is some speculation that she was never out of her cage over those years.  Fortunately, she was rescued, given food, and care.  But, she needed love and a home.

Meet Lilly

And, meet Lenny and Jan. 

They had to say goodbye to a beloved pet recently. And, they were lucky enough to run into Lilly as they were going through the healing process.   It seems like a perfect match.  They have a large home and yard.  Len and Jan are kind, gentle, caring and loving people. Heck, they even occasionally feed me, so they must be!

Lilly is doing OK. While her physical wounds have long ago healed, she still needs time to get over some of the psychological/behavioral damage.  She cowers and jumps at any sudden movements or sounds. While I was visiting, she layed quietly in Len's arms while he petted her.   But, she wouldn't let me near her.  And, I hardly have a mean bone in my body!   Really!

Maybe Lilly is like all of us.  It takes a while to recover from some things.  Hopefully, we emerge stronger on the other side.

Good luck, Lilly. 

Thanks Len and Jan!
