Reply #107: I'd love to see a picture of her

Papillons are such sweet, gentle little dogs.

You raise a really good point about mill rescues - they will probably always have some limitations, and people who adopt them need to be able to adapt to their needs. That's why it's harder to place them.

I have three Pomeranians, and two of them are mill rescues. Like your girl, my first also had problems with his feet from the wire cages. He had lots of trouble walking for the first six months or so. He's also had some other medical issues, fortunately none serious. Emotionally he has some fears but they don't make him aggressive. I've had him for three years now and he's made a tremendous amount of progress, but I know he'll never be what most consider a "normal" dog and that's fine with me. He's happy, loves his brothers, and occasionally will sit in my lap so I can pet him. He was already 8 when I got him, and all I've wanted to do is give him the best second half of life that I can. He's totally worth it.
