Arrival Story:
Fawn was born into slavery. Her life was horrible, beyond anything we can even imagine. Her mind and her body and her spirit were broken! She never felt the softness of a hug, never enjoyed the feel of grass under her feet, never tasted a good meal. Her sole purpose was to make money by being forced to make puppies-over & over & over again. Almost all those puppies were sold at pet stores. But, thanks to some wonderful folks at a rescue, Fawn is now able to live. I say live, because all she did before was survive. Now she does more than just exists. She is no longer in pain nor tortured. Thanks to all the love, patience and hard work of her Foster parents, even though she is now nearly blind and deaf and toothless, her spirit is now great! I thought it would be appropriate to have Fawn's Foster Mom tell you about Fawn's beginnings.
Fawn came into rescue with Puppymillrescue.com on July 11, 2006. She was a matted, flea infested, burr covered, emaciated, weak and scared little lady who weighed only 5 lbs. She was taken to the vet immediately and they had to sedate her to shave her fur off all the way down to the skin. As she was examined it became very obvious she had been the mother to many, many litters for many, many years. She had two large mammary tumors and a golf ball sized hernia. She was completely blind in one eye and appeared to be hard of hearing. Her few teeth that were left were in horrendous condition. She would scream in fear when you touched her. It was obvious that Fawn had never known love or care but had been used to make money having babies for her captor and when she was all used up, she had been dumped to die.
An appointment was made immediately to have Fawn spayed and have the tumors and the hernia removed. She did very well with the surgeries and luckily the biopsies came back benign. As Fawn recuperated from her surgery, she learned what good food, soft beds, love, care and affection means. After many, many months, she realized she would never be hurt again. Fawn stopped being afraid of touch and she got to where she craved love and affection. She attached to her foster Dad and would happily await his arrival every evening and demand that he pick her up and put her in the recliner beside him to watch TV. Although Fawn was very loved by her foster family, we knew this was not the "perfect" home for her. With a houseful of other dogs (almost all rescues and fosters), Fawn could not get the one on one attention she craved and deserved. Finally, after a period of 18 months, we received an email from that "perfect" forever family for Fawn. I knew as soon as I read the email that this was the one. As I did the reference checks and the interview and waited for the home visit, my heart was telling me this is it!!! And, it was. Her new Mom flew to TX from MD to pick her up and carry her home with her in the plane. The rest is history.
Fawn is an Angel that has been lent to us. We don't know for how long, but we do know we will love her forever and make the most of our time together.
PLEASE don't shop...adopt! Please save lives-spay & neuter!
Bio:
As they say on the web site of Puppmillrescue "save one, until there's none"
While walking down the beach, a man saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it in the ocean.
As he came closer, he saw thousands of starfish the tide had thrown onto the beach. Unable to return to the ocean during low tide, the starfish were dying.
He observed a young boy picking up the starfish one by one and throwing them back into the ocean.
After watching the seemingly futile effort, the observer said,
"There must be thousands of starfish on the beach. It would be impossible for you to save all of them. There are simply too many. You can't possibly save enough to make a difference."
The young boy smiled as he picked up another starfish and tossed it back into the ocean.
"It made a difference to that one," he replied.
Paraphrased from "The Star Thrower" by Loren Eiseley, 1907 – 1977

My life is likely to last 10-15 years so PLEASE : think before you get me (and let it be from a rescue or shelter). And when you're sure I'm the one you want in your life, then lets journey down that road of life side by side with UNCONDITIONAL AND CONSTANT LOVE. Always remember that I love you. You are my world. To me, you are everything so let it be everything good such as food, water, shelter, gentle and frequent touches, true companionship. I have so much love to give to you! It may be hard to remember or understand, but even regular separation from you will be painful and can even cause depression or other behavior problems that I can't help, so if you can't help but leave me, make it short and help me through it. Give me time to understand what you want from me. Don't be impatient, short-tempered or irritable. To me, it's harder than being thrown into a strange country and having to learn a foreign language and all the customs! Place your trust in me and I will always trust you back, respect is earned not given as some sort of inalienable right. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. I am not capable of understanding why I am being locked up. I only know I have been rejected. You have your work, entertainment and friends. I only have you. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your tone. "You only have to look at my tail" to know that. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget: if that treatment is unjust or bad, it may spoil the special bond between us. Please do not hit me. I cannot hit back, but I can bite and scratch if I feel I must survive and I don't ever want to feel the need to do that. I want to please you more than anything, but I don't want to do it because I fear you. IDon't let my past throw shadows of doubt and fear across our joyful path: give me a chance and I can be so forgiving and will treat you as the individual you are. Before you tell me off for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be wrong with me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food or I've been out in the sun too long, maybe my heart is getting old and weak, or maybe I'm just dog-tired, or maybe I'm bored and have too much energy or anxiety. I can't tell you what's wrong, so you must trust that I'd never do wrong intentionally. Take care of me when I get old. One day you too will grow old and will also want care, love, and affection. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch" or "Let it happen in my absence". Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, I will always love you for being there with me.
