A few more lucky puppy mill refugees

"Liberty Bell", a one-year-old Portuguese water dog, that is one of the over 200 dogs that were rescued from a kennel in Pennsylvania, licks a visitor as she is transferred in Gaithersburg on Thursday, June 25. Several of the dogs were brought to Gaithersburg and transferred to shelters in Alexandria, Va., Fairfax, Va., and Takoma Park. After being cleaned and treated, the dogs will be ready for adoption.

I don't understand how people mistreat animals like this. Thanks to all the rescuers for saving these wonderful creatures. Wouldn't it be amazing if we were so forgiving? After all they've been through, they're willing to love.

How can we find out when these dogs will be transferred to the local shelters?

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
