I was told about a Peke from a friend that works in rescue and fosters. I went to see her on my lunch hour and fell in love with her only to find out that another rescue was on their way to take her to another city and that a family had been approved for her already. I sent in my application anyway and e-mailed the rescue all week long.
I was told that she was found in a crate in her own urine and feces and had sores from it. She had been shaved down so they could treat the sores and get rid of her matted hair. She had a puppy at the young age of 8 months and had been mistreated (hit and teased) by kids. She was missing a toe, no one knows how that happened.
The next week, I was home talking to my vet when he told me he had received a phone call from the rescue group. I couldn't help but wonder why they would still be calling. Then they called me and asked me if I was still interested in Kinsey. Of course! I drove that day to pick her up. She was so pathetic looking but I still loved her. She was kid and dog aggressive. My grandson lived with me at the time. It took some work with a professional but we got it worked out.
She didn't know how to play or what toys were. She has since learned a lot of tricks and we play daily. She has a wonderful life now. Too bad she had to go through what she did for the first 4-5 years of her life.
Just look at her now, she is the most beautiful girl I've ever had!
