Laura lives in Ohio. The rescued puppy was in Texas. Laura’s friends thought she was nuts. After all, she had several dogs and if she did need another one, surely she could find one in the same state! I didn’t care where she was, said Laura. I just knew I had to have her. I saw her picture on the rescue site, and I fell in love.
Merryn, a dark brindle Toto-like Cairn, was turned into Colonel Potter Cairn Terrier Rescue by her owner. Her owner deemed her aggressive to other dogs. But, as it turned out, her real problem was that she had been kept outside for her entire eight years with little human interaction, attention, or love.
Nola, nee Fascination, and Olivia, nee Tranquility, were born in a puppy mill. They lived their first five and six years respectively in 2.5 x 2.5 foot wire cages giving birth twice a year. They never knew human companionship or love, never played with toys, and never ran free. Their one and only job was producing more dogs for more profit. That is the main objective for puppy millers. Nola and Olivia, half sisters, came into Colonel Potter Cairn Terrier Rescue as shy, fearful, not very well kept dogs.
