Grace and Willemien were rescued from appalling conditions at the Puppy Mill farm where they had been bred so extensively, and indiscriminately, that their hormone balance has been affected. This has led to them being grossly overweight. Perhaps after sometime on a controlled diet and with regular gentle exercise they may lose some body mass – but how can someone have done this to these two loveable dogs? – because they are lovable. Grace desperately wants to be a lap dog; she is so affectionate and gentle. She adores being cuddled and having her ears fondled. Willemien is somewhat shy, but still so willing and responsive; just look into her eyes and see her wonderful nature.
It is a miracle that both dogs are so well disposed towards humans considering their early life at the Puppy Mill farm. Both dogs would benefit by being part of the family; they are fine with other animals and children. However due to their physical condition they need to live a reasonably quiet life, so it would be best if very young children were supervised when playing with them.
David Foote, a vet wisely wrote, “…the appeal of a pet often centres on their unconditional loyalty and acceptance of their human companion, asking very little in return…pets give us what all humans wnat – to be loved. They are not emotionally challenging.” We trust and pray that Grace and Willemien will find a loving human companion, someone who will care for them and give them happiness and their second chance in life. They should be re-homed together.
