In Austin, there is a Puppy Mill and when a litter is not perfect, they put the dogs in a big cardboard box and put them at the end of their drive. A local rescue here has a woman that drives by their location every day and if there is a box of puppies, she takes them in, nurses them and puts them up for adoption. It's better than them being drowned (which is a common practice in mills) but still so sad- if the woman doesn't drive by, the babies will die and be disposed of. We adopted our doggie, Cracker from the rescue and the reason his litter was disposed of? Their ears had too much tan color, so they would not be eligible for shows since they were not pure white. Is that not the craziest reason to kill innocent animals that THE MILLS brought into this world through breeding?!?!!? Wonderful piece, Kim! Here's our rescued doggie: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spaustin/2873589127/ (put out to die because he has tan on his ears.) Kim, this hits very close to home.
