Puppy Mill Survivor Lulu
Thanks to the efforts of some amazing rescues, we were able to get every last dog out of this puppy mill, now shut down forever!! Thanks to No More Tears Puppy Mill Rescue, Pet Helpers, Inc in WV, Second Chance Rescue in Oak Ridge NJ, Boston Terrier Rescue, and The Last Resort Rescue in W. Milford NJ, THE CLIP SHOPPE for volunteering to bath and groom 15 dogs, and Kirstin Arcell for the PUPP-O-VAN!!
NEBTR received two, one of which is LuLu.
Lulu was first taken to Carolyn McCarthy at Kamp Kanine, then to Renee Posey in Randolph, NY. Carolyn, always there for a dog in distress, had Lulu for the week before going to Renee. She took her to an ophthal in her area to have her eyes checked and began the process of gaining her trust.
Renee writes, "She is settling in really well so far. Right now she's sleeping on the floor next to my husband. She has checked out the backyard, explored the house and is getting along really well so far with my resident hooligans.
She has access to her crate throughout the day, but has yet to go in to it today.
The thing that really surprises and makes me happy is that after watching my two year old daughter from a distance throughout the day, she went up and sat right next to her on the floor. She sniffed her a few times and walked away! So that's going better than expected, I didn't think she would be ready to do that for a few weeks.
She did think that the washing machine was going to kill her at one point (she was walking by it at the moment that it started agitating), but has been fine with it since.
Overall, she's doing a lot better than I expected! She's a really cool little dog."
Here are pics of Lulu now under Renee's loving care.
