Newest Member of our family....Danny

Danny was rescued from horrific conditions in Sept of '09 in TN from a puppy mill along with 100 other border collies.   You can see the video of the rescue here: http://www.wsmv.com/video/21119378/index.html

Danny is thought to be about 3 1/2 years old, so he spent 2 1/2 years in a cage being used to breed.  Once rescued, he spent a year in rescue before coming to me.  He is very frightened of life and most people, it takes a lot of love, patience and time.  Luckily I have all three.  He's progressed remarkedly in the four months we've had him.  He joined Lacee, my 11 year old border collie, who is also a rescue from TX.  They get along ok, but aren't really best buds. 

I'm very thankful to have been given the opportunity to help Danny come out of his shell and try to live a normal life. He may never be "normal", but that's ok.  He loves me and I love him so much, that's all that matters!!

  5. Danny is very photogentic!! I can't stop taking pictures of him....the expressions on his face are priceless. Lacee doesn't like her picture taken. The picture of all of us was taken in London in '06. Nicole was 23 and Aaron was 15. They are now 27 and 19.
