These sweet little dogs were seized from a puppy mill in Colorado 4 months ago. The Bichon Frise' is named "sprite", she is 4 yrs old. The little rat terrier is named "Betty" and she is 7 yrs old. They were forced to have puppies over and over during their life while they were stacked in cages on top of each other. Puppy mill dogs are often very traumatized and it takes a long time for them to trust people much less look you straight in the eye. They do not go for walks like the other dogs at Dogtown because they freeze up from fear and hug the ground shaking. The handler suggested we take them for a ride in our car to get them used to being away from their kennels. They shook alot in the beginning but after about 10 minutes they actually let me pet them and they looked at me! They still have a little more time to grow socially but BF hopes to only adopt them as a pair since they are so bonded to each other. Puppy mill owners SUCK!!
