Great story.  

Don't misunderstand some of what I offer here, but we should be a little 
careful here.  Some of these poor dogs are better off not being where they 
are.  We will generally not know this from one phone call, but these type 
people can and do inflict really bad things on the dogs and other animals 
that they live with.  A lot of these people are not very stable and cannot 
cope.  All situations that our dogs might be better off, even in rescue.  The 
problem is the breeding and the breeders.  If they were good breeders they 
would look after their pups.
