| Be An Angel to Puppymill Survivors! |
| Your Name Here! |
| At S'Wheat Rescues we believe that rescuing and rehoming puppymill victims is our most important mission as a Rescue. While we rescue Wheatens from many different scenarios, these dogs are the ones that need our help most and the most rewarding to see. Providing medical attention is just the beginning. The physical damage can be staggering. The psychological damage is much worse. We Rescue these dogs in a variety of ways, sometimes we are contacted by other Rescues who have had a mill Wheaten turned over to them, sometimes the millers will contact us directly. Most often we get these dogs by attending puppymill auctions and buying them to get them out of the cycle of being puppymill breeders. This can be controversial and we could argue the merits of buying the dogs both ways but in the end, to us, it comes down to getting the individual dogs out of puppymill hell and making their lives better, one dog at a time. The cost of buying these dogs is the first step in the process but very rarely is it the most expensive step. When we rescue these dogs they are invariably in deplorable physical condition: parasite-ridden, underweight, bred nearly to death. They may have eye infections, missing orbs or vision impairment caused by ammonia from urine-soaked quarters. Some have torn, deformed ears and tongues and missing limbs from cage aggression or from becoming frozen in the cold or sticking to metal surfaces in their unheated quarters. Females may have hernias or prolapsed uterus's from painful, extended labor. Their toes may be splayed from walking on wire floors. Most have rarely, if ever been out of their small, cramped cages and can have next to no muscle tone. Almost all suffer from chronic, painful ear infections, some to the point of having lost their hearing. Many have tattooed ears or thighs. Some have numbers hung around their necks on chains or ropes that have grown into their flesh. Their dental state is invariably horrible; most will have painful, infected teeth and gums, some resulting in systemic infections. Most will lose many if not the majority of their teeth during dental surgery. These poor Wheatens have endured years of torture to make money for uncaring humans, they are the tortured and abused mothers and fathers to all those cute puppies that are bought every year in petstores around the country. It is our mission to help these poor lost souls and we need YOUR help to do it! We have set up a fund to be used to both purchase these dogs and to take care of their veterinary needs after we have done so. The adoption fees on the mill dogs never cover their care. We have paid up to $600 to rescue a Wheaten at Rescue (Hope, who had puppies after being rescued) and veterinary bills for each dog are usually in the $300 - $900 range depending on their particular needs. As you can see, the typical adoption fee of $300 does not come close to paying for the care these Wheatens need.
