Sometimes its important to remind ourselves why we do what we do. Lily, wearing tag #251, crouched, suffering in a small wire cage at the auction. Breeding dogs were being sold to the highest bidder. Lily looked straight into Theresas eyes that day and asked for help. Theresa purchased Lily and promised to shower her with love until the day she died. For the next 15 months Lily learned about being a dog. She learned about soft beds, belly rubs and rolling in the grass. But most importantly, Lily learned what love felt like. Despite surgeries and the best care possible, the 7 years of neglect at the puppy mill had taken its toll on her body. On May 13, 2008 Lily passed away. Theresa vowed, in Lilys name, to take up the cause for the mill dogs and thus National Mill Dog Rescue was born.
