Heaven was a 9 year old Yorkie rescued from a kennel near Lebanon Missouri shet had her bottom jaw broken on both sides in the very back near the joint.
She was unable to move it, we took her to the vet and was told that they were unable to wire her jaw.
They stated that they would have to pin her jaws by running the pins through the back of her head. They said that this was a very painful procedure. Due to her severe dental disease that they did not feel that there was enough jaw left to even pin and it would be a constant battle with infection.
The smell that emitted from her mouth was awful. Heaven had lost all will to live and did not even whimper when anything was done to her. So through the tears and heartache, we let her go to the bridge where she is running free and no longer in pain.
This was the first dog that I have ever had to make that decision on and I hope that it will be the last. We named her "Heaven" as we felt that she needed a name as she started her journey on the bridge.

"A huge inventory is a bad sign when it comes to pets... and a home-raised puppy is worth the wait."
Day after day..
each one the same,
another year older
a little more lame
left out in the weather
with little protection
my body is sore
and hot with infection
in the freezing cold
or the searing heat
with nothing but wire
beneath swollen feet
my food bowl is empty
my water dish dry
What did I do??
please tell me, why?
the litters come
and the litters go
where do they take them?
I don't know...
is this a bad joke?
or a horrible game?
I have no home
not even a name
no one to love me
no one to care
no one to bathe me
and brush my hair
my teeth are rotting
my eyes are encrusted
where are the people
to whom I'm entrusted?
I cry every night...
so afraid, don't you see?
could this be the life
God intended for me?
someone, speak for me
I am losing my will
take me out of this hell
called a Puppymill.....

Little Rosie joined her babies in Heaven May 31, 2001
Rosie's only fault was being in a puppy mill and having to shell out litter after litter. She never woke up from surgery being spayed
The "medical area" of this puppy mill contains dirty bottles of dewormer, chemicals, old syringes, and a hammer that the mill operator told investigators was used to "euthanize" dogs. This table is actually in a pen full of animals.

I'm a little puppy, so cuddly, sweet and small
I live inside a cage, you see at a Pet Store in the mall.
I'm not an only puppy, my sisters are all here.
My brothers, too, except for Ralph who died coz he was scared.
It's lonely here at nighttime when all the lights go dark,
We tremble in our cages and we whimper and we bark.
But no one comes to hold us or pet our fears away.
We sit all night in terror til the store opens next day.
We don't remember mama, left so far behind.
she did the best she could for us til Man said "It is time."
He crammed us all in cages too small for us you see.
We rode for hours; we could not help but lay in poop and pee.
And now we sit in a Pet Store where kids come taunt and squeeze.
They do not hear our whimpers or understand our pleas.
We're miserable and it's scary here we all would rather die.
But since we don't we do our best to run away and hide.
I know you think my story too sad to leave me be.
You want to take me home with you, a happy little puppy.
But please, though it is fearful to live here against our will.
If you take me that leaves a spot another pup will fill.
You can stop our suffering but not by taking us home.
You must be strong and leave us here, unsold and all alone.
For if you do not take me, then another pup won't come.
And maybe he will not be shipped so far away from home.
Tho some of us may not survive the cycle 'ere it falls.
If we don't sell they will not need more puppies in these halls.
And if they need no puppies then the Man will not bring more.
Eventually it can all stop! You CAN close the door.
So when you see a puppy face so sad and sweet and small.
In a cage at a Pet Store at your neighborhood shopping mall.
The best thing you can do for him is leave him sitting there.
That is the best way you can tell all dogs how much you care.

Letter to a Negligent Puppy Mill Owner
To Whom It May Concern:
Last week, a little dog labeled “B4” made his way to my household via the Humane Society of Pulaski County (HSPC). B4 got his name because he was obtained through a puppy mill raid on your property. B represents the particular “raid” and 4 was the number assigned to him out of 54 animals seized on your land. Heroic efforts by law enforcement and animal cruelty investigators saved these animals who trusted you to take care of their basic needs — adequate shelter and food and water.
I took B4 to an adoption event a few weeks ago. I was late to pick up my dog for the event and grabbed the first animal in the lobby that was available for the trip. I scooped him up, loaded him in my car, and off we went. He didn't make a sound the whole ride over, and once we arrived, he was the star of the event. Everyone fell in love with B4! Another shelter volunteer said we quickly needed to give him a real name, and she suggested Timothy — a name that has stuck with him to this day. Here is a picture of Timothy and me at the adoption event:
Timothy didn't get adopted that day, but he sure won over some hearts. People noticed he only had one eye and that he stayed in my lap most of the time. Questions were asked — what happened to poor Timothy?
Timothy wasn't born without one eye and with no sight in the other. He was born a healthy puppy, doomed to a life in a cage in your puppy mill. While most people would have seen a wonderful dog that deserved a happy life, you saw dollar signs and confined him to a cage and a life of filth that ruined his eyes, but didn't break his spirit.
Two weeks after the adoption event, I met some friends at the HSPC to put in some volunteer time. Little Timothy was still there, and he was the first dog I played with that day. I carried him all over the shelter and out into the dog park for nearly two hours. I could hardly put him down. After I left that day, his plight weighed heavily in my mind, and I decided to go back to the shelter the next day and think about bringing him home to foster.
That was a week ago today. Timothy, the little blind dog, has lived for a week with a 40-pound Shepherd-mix and two terrier mixes. For the past few days, I've worked with Timothy to learn where things are in my house and how to find the things he needs like food and water. But what I have taught him doesn't remotely compare to what my dogs have taught him. When Timothy hesitates to take the final step out into the backyard, my little dog Zoe runs to his aid as if to say, “Follow me!” He follows her scent out into the yard where he is free from cages and confinement. And when he loses his way out in his big sea of grass, my dog Musby runs up to him and corrals him back in so he can get back to the door to come back inside. Timothy is learning from my three how to be a dog, something no human could ever teach him.
Timothy will never be able to see the huge yard he has to run in, nor will he ever be able to chase squirrels and leaves like my big Shepherd does. He will never be able to run freely without finally hitting an obstacle in his path. He is four years old, and only until this week did he even respond much to being held and petted — something you denied him his whole life. But Timothy is changing on a daily basis. He's safe and he is trusting. He fears little and he's determined to find his way. You may have stolen four years of his life, but he's got the rest of his ahead of him and at the rate he is running in my yard these days, I know there is no turning back for him.
Today I was horrified when, after more inquiries into Timothy's past, I was sent “evidence” photos taken the day Timothy was taken from you. Here they are.
Not much could have prepared me for what my eyes were seeing. Was this the same dog? Surely there was a mistake. No mistake, they told me, and the “B4” visible in the photos confirmed the facts. I asked myself how anyone could look themselves in the eye each day, knowing they had treated an innocent animal the way you treated Timothy. The pain and suffering you inflicted on him for the sake of making a fast buck is shameful. No life could be so unworthy as you must have believed Timothy's was, and certainly no life was worth destroying for nothing more than monetary gain.
In the eyes of the law in Arkansas, your treatment of Timothy may only be a misdemeanor, but in the eyes of humanity, your acts were deplorable. And while your case goes to trial and a judge decides your fate, a forgotten little dog who lived in a cage already knows his — a life of fine dining, extended play, hours at the doggie spa, lots of naps on a big soft bed and, above all else — a life free of cruelty and cages!
We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.

UPDATE: Soon after writing this article, I formally adopted Timothy. He's been a great addition to my "critter family," even recently finding his "bark," that I can't wait to hear when I come home from work. On December 30, 2008, he had to be rushed to the veterinarian's office to have his remaining eye removed. His surgery went well and he's expected to make a full recovery. Despite having lost both of his eyes, Timothy will still be able to run and play and see with his heart. He will lead a full and happy life surrounded by 3 dogs and 2 cats and many humans who will love him and who will continue to help him find his way.
