Arrival Story: I had been looking for a new dog after a few years of no pet, and my last stop of the day was at my local PetSmart, where they were having a adoption day. This rescue group was from out of state and had brought one small hairy black puppy for a gentleman who wanted to adopt her. The guy pulled a no show, and so I was allowed to adopt her instead. It was meant to be. She was very nervous and yet terribly excited. She peed in her crate because she was so excited.
After her 1 st hair cut, I found my black/chocolate terrier puppy was actually a wheaten mix in disguise, since then I have been learning a lot about this great breed.
We are continuing our training adventure, and hope to get back to Rally-O in the near future.
Bio: My Gotcha Day is: April 10th.
We Train at Canine Craze in Des Moines, Iowa.

I just wanted to talk to you about this sweet little guy in rescue. His name is Skipper.
He is a rescue from a Puppy Mill. He was rescued with 3 other dogs. He was the only one that came in shaved. He is totally nekkid, bol.
Well, his cell mates were all adopted quickly, but poor nekkid Skipper waits for someone to see past the spindly legs, and big nose and see the truly beautiful, shy guy he is....
I'm reprinting from a plus forum that I started....
April 28th 2009 I have been watching some pups online.
The Mom (Kate) was rescued from a BYB situation. When the rescue got her and 2 other dogs, they shaved them down, and discovered that Kate was pregnant.
The rescue prepared for puppies and tried to get Kate to gain some weight, and waited. A week and a half ago 5 sweet puppies were born.
Right away, we all noticed one puppy was having problems. The vet confirmed that the puppy was born with a severe cleft palate, and he was put to sleep as he was slowly starving.
After that heartbreak, we were all grateful that the remaining pups seemed to be gaining weight, and were becoming these little rolly pollies.
Last night, one of the little girls, Abbie started to cry. She passed away last night. The foster Mom rushed to the vet, but it was too late.
Apparently, they have hookworms. Mom passed it to the pups.
Wilson passed this afternoon. Two remain, Callie and Paddington.
The next 24 hours will be critical.
If you could send just a little thought or prayer...
these ladies (and all you) who help the helpless give so much of yourselves, to loose these new innocents is just heartbreaking.
And today's-
April 30th
The 2 remaining pups (Calliope and Paddington) are holding on. Foster Mom had a bad day, but all of the well wishes and prayers helped.
~~Thank You, thank you~~
They are both home, and with Momma Kate.
In honor of the 2 pups that died, the rescue is asking all who read this to pass the word to 2 people about Puppy Mills. Through Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Dogster, wherever you can think of...
