My heart aches so deeply for these dogs that lived in such a horrific state. I cried when I read the headlines of the dachshund Frankie “whose eyes drooped with fatigue. With grimy fur and nails a half-inch long, he wobbled on his paws after apparently spending most of his life in a wire cage in a
West Virginia
puppy mill.” How can any human being do this to an animal? It is so beyond my comprehension. You can read the complete story here Delivered Into Loving Arms.
At the same time my heart rejoices these sweet dogs are free and will hopefully all find loving homes soon.
I have to try and help so have decided I will donate a % of book sales for the month of September not only to Dodgers List as I recently posted, but will also donate a % of sales to Dachshund Rescue of North America. They have taken in and are caring for 138 of the dogs that were taken from the West Virginia Puppy Mill bust. I’ve been told by someone who is a volunteer with DRNA that applications to adopt are pouring in.
If you know of anyone looking for a gift for their children or grandchildren for birthdays or the holidays, while at the same time being able to help with two great causes, please let them know about Frankie, the Walk ‘N Roll Dog. Frankie’s book teaches compassion and reaching out with a donation from book sales to both these charities is my way of showing compassion. Please forward this to anyone you may know looking for a great gift and a way to give back at the same time.
