Permission to CROSS POST!! This is why we rescue from Mills..... GRAPHIC!!!! Bonnie Becker beckerb Tue, 06 Feb 2007 12:56:42 -0500Surrendered by a K-5 last Wed. He's suppose to be a Maltese. Horrible. Warning....VERY graphic picture attached.This was posted to my Cairn Rescue list this morning. It's absolutely heartbreaking and I know it'll be especially hard for those

of you who have special affection for Maltese. But it's something we need to pass around so ordinary folks understand where we as rescuers are coming from. This is why Col. Potter rescues mill dogs, and especially older mill dogs. This is why we try so hard to make people understand what they're supporting if they purchase from a pet store....either a live dog or cat or food, toys, etc. from a store that sells live dogs and cats. I'm going to be giving my PA mill kids extra hugs today....lots of extra hugs.BonnieCol. Potter Cairn Rescue Networkwww.CairnRescue.com Why I do what I do, why I continue to "spout from my soapbox", and why you should tell EVERY person you know not to buy a puppy from a pet store! This dog came right out of your hometown of LANCASTER COUNTY - and every person who sees it should be angry that this is allowed to

continue!~CarrieMainLineRescue (AT) aol (DOT) comHey folks, this dog came to us with AKC papers!We don't know how old he is. We just know that he spent his whole life in a Commercial Breeding facility in Lancaster County, fully licensed by the state of PA. We know that this breeder was inspected three times in the last year and a half. No violations. How could a warden walk by this dog three times and not issue a vet check? He is suffering from malnutrition, dehydration, ulcers in both eyes (permanent damage), mange, infections in both ears, and what's left of his teeth will need to be pulled if and when he is strong enough. He had numerous parasites and is being treated for a very contagious organism that's attacking his intestinal tract. The Vet Hospital who is now treating him tell me he is one of the sweetest dogs they have ever met. Can anyone tell me why

this is allowed to continue? Look at his spine. It will cost us thousands of dollars but we'll get him well and find him a home. I hope and pray that things will change soon.Bill SmithMain Line Animal Rescue . The fish are biting.
