Rescue dogs come with baggage

[jsd]

All three current dogs are rescue. The last a labradoodle puppy mill mom. Spent first three years locked in a kennel in a basement, making puppies. She wasn’t socialized, house broken or trained in any way. She was terrified of men. She was in three adoptive homes in three months before landing with us. The rescue never cashed our check. Six years later, she’s the greatest and would tear through a wall for my wife if she was in any kind of trouble.
