Puppy mill rescues: Going, going gone?

The beyond-cute puppies that found themselves at a Baltimore shelter last week after being rescued from a puppy mill are well on their way to happier places, it looks like.

I visited the Maryland SPCA on Sunday and it looked as if every last one of the 18 rescues had been spoken for. From the poodle mixes to the Great Dane. All of them.

I'm a little heartbroken. Don't tell Leo or Pumpkin, but I fell a little in love with a butterscotch-colored sweetie named Spot. I hope he, and all the rest of the puppies and dogs, have the wonderful lives they deserve from now on.

If you adopted one of them, let us know how they're doing!

I adopted one of the rescue puppiesfrom SPCA in Baltimore. His name was Mikey but now is called Willie because our goldendoodle is named Mikie. He has stolen our hearts. I feel so blessed to have had a chance to bring him home. He is doing so well I do believe all the stress of living those terrible conditions has gone away.

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.
