Puppy Mill Dog Leaves Cage For First Time in 15 Years
China, a 15-year old Chihuahua, was shaking when she was taken out of her cage for the first time after years of forced reproduction in a Georgia puppy mill. It was partially because she was scared, partially because her legs couldn’t support the weight of her body. She has a tumor the size of a deck of cards on her back leg. She doesn’t have teeth after years of malnutrition. Her eyes are gray and cloudy. She’s basically skin and bones. “Do you think she’s feeling any love?” asked Susan Strell, a volunteer with The Home for Good Dog Rescue in Berkeley Heights, who wrapped China in a blanket and held her like a baby. She stopped shaking afer a while in her arms. “At least she might feel some love for once in her life.” Strell began to cry, it was too sad to look at China’s face, she said.
