Silky Terrier Rescue and Adoption
Success Stories
Daisy
Daisy was rescued by Andi in March, 1998, along with two puppy-mill
silkies. Daisy was in a shelter in Missouri. At first, Daisy was thought to be an "owner turn-in",
but now it is known that she, too, was a puppy-mill dog.
Daisy and the two other silkies were "scared, scruffy, and very pathetic" when they were
rescued. Daisy had been shaved down, so her coat is still growing back. She had tummy
troubles and very few teeth. She turned out to be blind in one eye, because she did not receive
basic treatment for an eye condition.
After months of loving care by Andi, Daisy was ready for adoption. In early September, she
went to live with Gayle and Gayle's two other rescue dogs. In her new home, Daisy is very sweet
but shy. She was willing to sit in Gayle's lap right from the start. Now, she is happy, perky, and
affectionate. She's a "one-person" dog for now, but that's ok because Gayle is her person, and
she and Gayle are already very fond of each other.
Daisy has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. She had a wonderful home for her last few years and was loved very much.
Trapper
Trapper is a retired Champion with a CD and CGC. Trapper was a rescue
dog on the Silkydog-l rescue page. He was raised by a woman who bred Flat Coated Retrievers,
and Trapper started getting a little too pushy with one of her males. The dog tried to drown
Trapper in her duck pond, so she decided to find Trapper a home where he would be safe, happy,
and most of all loved.
We drove up to meet Trapper, and he was so taken with us that he decided to make us his new
family. He has been a wonderful addition to our family, and now has a little sister to play and
romp with.
