There's a New Girl in Town! - Written by a CP Intake Volunteer

A few days ago Col. Potter received word that a former puppy mill girl who had been adopted was returned to her original adoption agency. Her owner gave her a home, food, a safe place and love, but she realized this scared young cairn needed more help in adjusting to her new world. The Humane Society's breed placement put out an S.O.S. and Skye became a CP kid. She is currently at the vet for her check up and hold time. Skye is a beautiful black brindle and it looks like some gray or silver may appear as her coat grows out. She's a timid and scared girl right now, but Carla L., who will be her foster mom, will help her overcome the puppy mill remnants left in her mind. Carla has already visited her at the vet and had quality time with Skye to start the process of trust and love.

Skye may be the poster girl for all the puppy mill kids who are heading to freedom in the next few months. Many puppy mill dogs of all breeds will be showing up in rescues as some large puppy mills unwind and shut down in the coming months. Humane Societies and rescues are already at capacity and it's going to get worse. The HS that helped Skye is anticipating the arrival of 300 dogs of various breeds from a mill in the next few weeks with more to follow. This is also the mill where Skye came from. The HS is doing it's best to work with everyone who adopts one of these special kids. Once in a while a former PM kid needs more assistance due to the life endured in the mill. Skye's previous owner recognized this and out of love sought that help. Without foster homes and funding, CP wouldn't have been able to help this beautiful cairn to the wonderful life waiting for her. Thank you to all of you for making Col. Potter what it is - the best cairn rescue in the world! If you are interested in helping Col. Potter with our puppy mill dogs and other rescues fill out a Volunteer Application!
