Hats off to your friend and you for sharing the story and hugs to her little dog.

Girls horrendous Zoe has huge mammory tumour and extremely thin and older Zoe is quite blind and even thinner.
Had to shave the faeces matts out as the smell was horrific, I had to get my friend to help as was awful then home with me for bath, scrub and bed.
And death is to good for puppy farmers they are scum.
After cutting matts out
On Isabell you cant see it but she is much thinner than her sister Zoe her skin was sinking and bones potruding
Bath
Isabell is anorexic although wasnt her choice not to it, all her features are sunken
In cosy bed after haircut and bath and food just vets now
I am not a fan of clothes on dogs but we had to take the grade of to get matted faeces out so need extra warmth

These breeders have no remorse, I had to be nice to her which was hideous and she told me when people come they move pups to house on there own so people dont know as people can be queer about puppy farms as "she loves her dogs" her words about 20 times.

Those girls deserve to know some kindness
How anyone can look at dogs like that and have no problems telling you they love them
So what can we do to help get these places shut down??

Lets get one thing clear here ...No one has castigated anyone
No one has said anyone shouldn't rescue any dogs.
It has just been pointed out that the actions of some well meaning people when rescuing some dogs may lead to unfortunate consequences for may other dogs and the puppies they produce.
As you seem intent on turning this into an argument I will start a thread for you in the debates section.
