omg I'm so sorry..I promised pics of happy [View all]

I posted a thread like ten days ago and promised pics of our latest rescue and forgot all about it....I'm so sorry

Back story...there was a puppy mill in SC that was just horrible to it's dogs...the females were in cages so tight they couldn't move so they couldnt fight when mounted........Happy was one of the 53 taken when they were raided.She is an Australian terrier...a newly recocnized breed that is a mix between an Aussie sheep dog and a Parson Russel Terrier.

She was so matted up when we got her we had to shave her bald.....she was so scared the first month we were scared she would starve because she was so scared to have anything to do with humans.

This is happy 9 months later
