This bulldog was kept in a cage at a puppy mill before being rescued:

Couldn't go down steps. Had no idea of what they were even.

3. We have a King Charles Spaniel (or English Toy, depending on which side of the pond you live)

He was the same way when we got him. He had been standing stud in a puppy mill and had no idea how to go up or down stairs. He would come when you called him, but with his tail between his legs and would sort of slink as if he expected to be punished. He's been with us for 10 years now and is the most joyful dog we have ever had. If he is awake his tail is wagging. He loves to get a big ball and have you kick it for him. He 'herds' it like a soccer player back to you for you to kick it again.

About 5 years ago he developed diabetes and gets two shots of insulin a day. He loves shot time because he gets a special treat after his shot. He's about 14 now and has slowed down a bit and sleeps more, but still loves every minute and we adore him and he adores us.

Don't shop. Adopt!

5. My first deaf dog was a puppy mill rescue.

When she was ten weeks old the mill wanted to get rid of her since she was deaf and sold her to a pet store. We ended up getting her free since I threatened to go to our local news consumer protection reporter. She was the sweetest, smartest, most devoted dog in the world and she lived to be 15 years old and was loved and adored every single day of her post-adoption life.

6. My parents bought puppy mill dog when I was a little girl.

The term didn't exist then and they didn't know what they were going to find when they drove us to the breeder's to pick out a puppy.

The puppies lived in the dark, in a barn, in an enclosure with a chicken wire floor, suspended over the barn floor so their enclosure wouldn't need to be cleaned. There was barely enough room to turn around. When we brought our puppy home, she had never seen grass before. Even in our yard, she only knew how to move in a tight circle. She'd never had room to walk a straight line.

She developed into a great dog who slept on my bed each night.

7. I am not able to see the video, but,

We have a English bully from someone who just rescued another bully from a mill. The conditions that the rescued dog was in were god awful, the dog could barely walk.
We also have another bully that came from some idiot that thought it would be a good idea to do some cross breeding ( some people should not be allowed to own animals), fortunately we bought insurance for the dog since it has had many surgeries just to keep it alive. The dog now, almost a year later is finally becoming relaxed and happy.
My wife and I have rescued more than a couple of dogs, they've all turned out to be great companions.
