Jackie O is Adopted

I delivered Jackie-O to her forever home Wednesday evening.  She was so ready for this! Thank you Patti and Conni for all the love you shared with this precious girl. She had previously met her daddy, she is comfortable with him, tunes into him and was very relaxed in his home. She snuggled by his side on her own. I followed up a day later all is well they are in love and her swarovski crystal collar is on order. She WILL be treated like royalty for life. Easter weeknd she'll be visiting grandma in Virginia and getting to know her pug, also a new 7 year old rescue. Michael had a truck load of supplies and new beds, blankets, toys, healthy treats, he already has a groomer lined up and my vet will continue to be Jackie-O 9's vet since he did the spay and dental. It's what we hoped for for Jackie-O.

Happily ever after, amen!
P.S. Conni is still crying, to know Jackie-O was to love her!

Nice photos.  Jacki-O looks like she's already settling in.
Thanks so much to Patti, Conni, and Maria for giving that sweet little girl the happy beginning to the rest of her life that she deserves.

Jackie O Loves Going to Work with Her Foster Mama

New puppy mill rescue momma, Jackie-O, is at work with me.  One of the greatest benefits of my job is that I get to bring my foster dogs to work with me.  This gives me an opportunity to socialize them and to educate people on fostering and adopting!!  Please adopt, don't shop!!  Have a great holiday!!!

Thank you,
Patti M

Dear JackieO,

Jackie O at Work

It's been one week since her rescue from the puppy mill.  She is doing well adjusting to being shown affection, getting a good meal, and sleeping in a new soft cozy bed!!  She loves people and other dogs!!  Of course her favorite activity is taking a nap and hanging out with us wherever that may be.  She's at work with me today and everyone loves her!!!  She is the perfect little lady!!

A Message From My Heart

The holidays are quickly approaching.  Everyone is in good cheer, excited, joyful, and ready for celebrations with friends and family. 

 

I’m sure some people are thinking about getting a new puppy to add to their family.  Are you ready to purchase your next Boston Terrier puppy at a pet shop?  Or have you purchased a new Boston Terrier puppy at a pet shop in the last 7 years?  Meet my foster girl, Jackie-O.  She could be your pet shop puppy’s Mommy. 

 

I’d like to tell you a little about my foster girl.  She was one of 7 mill dogs rescued by Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue on December 12, 2014.  It took many volunteers to organize a successful rescue.  She had lost her litter of 4 puppies a few weeks back, so the puppy mill slave breeder (and I’m being nice here) decided he was through with her.  After seven long-treacherous years of breeding, she was now being dumped.  Luckily it was to a rescue. 

 

Some mill dogs end up in an auction to be purchased by another breeder so that the breeding continues again….and again…and again.  These dogs are treated like livestock.  These dogs don’t have a name, a warm bed, treats, a decent meal, or even clean water to drink.  They are in tight wire cages to defecate where they lay and stand.  They don’t have the luxury of a kind human’s touch….They are grabbed by the back of their necks to be thrown into another cage for mating.  When they have their litter of puppies, the puppies are taken way to soon from their mother.  Imagine yourself in those conditions.  Wouldn’t that break your spirit?

 

My pretty foster girl, Jackie-O, came to me with nothing…. No name, no collar, no leash, no soft bedding, no sweater to keep her warm, no treats.  She came to me extremely underweight.  She does not know the simple pleasures of what most dogs as pets take for granted (as they should and deserve to do).  I am teaching my Jackie-O everything, especially what it feels like to be loved!!  When I am finished rehabilitating her, I will find her a forever home that will treat her with respect and spoil her as she should have been since being a puppy herself.

 

And here she is beside me, wagging her tail….just wanting to be loved.

 

Please adopt, don’t shop

Foster Mom to Jackie-O

Jackie-O - is Stylin'

Look at that face..... :)

For a puppy mill rescue, she walks around with a regal attitude...such a sweetheart! We think that name fits her well.

Freedom Ride for Jackie O

This is Ms. Jackie-O!!!  She is the 7 year old mill girl that lost her puppies a few weeks ago.  Apparently this was a good excuse for the Puppy Mill breeders (and I am being nice) to dump her.

She is sweet and very friendly...she will have no problem being loved by a forever family!!

Thank you,
Patti M

Patti - she is really beautiful.

Thank you for taking her in.

and thank you to Dawn Stone and Liz Shockley for driving very far distances to get her to safety today.

This really was a huge effort by all!!

A very happy holiday deed : )

She's beautiful, welcome to the life you deserve little girl! - Denice

Note:  Jackie O and Cooper were rescued by Laura of No More Tears.  Many, many thanks to her for all that she does!
