More: Everly or “Evie” was a rescue dog that came from a puppy mill. Evie had two hernias so they were going to put her down. Last year, we had to put down both of our dogs that we had for 15 yrs and 10 years due to cancer. I’ve had dogs all my life, and told my wife I couldn’t do it anymore . After seeing Evie, we knew we had to get her. So glad we did. She is an awesome dog.
