More: She roamed the streets of Mississippi, never had a home. Some woman would feed her when she was around, but never would let her inside her house, when she discovered that she was pregnant, brought her to a kill shelter, Rhode home Rescue out of Rhode Island caught wind of this, drove 36 hrs, in the meantime she gave birth to 10 puppies, and was heartworm positive, I saw her on pet finder and put in an application, I had lost my Golden a year before from Cushings disease, and i was ready for a new member of my family. There were several applications, and after all was said and done, I WAS CHOSEN !! This DOG HAD SOME EARLIER ISSUES, SHE NOW IS PERFECT !!
