Let
us tell you about our latest rescue, Annie Grace. She is a Silky
Terrier, and is about seven years old. We adopted her through a rescue in
South Carolina, Molly's Militia. Annie was a breeder dog for
approximately six years, and then when the breeders no longer needed her,
they gave her to a family that evidently thought they wanted a dog, but
then changed their mind. During the coldest part of the winter season,
Annie was kept tied outside to a swing set with a swing chain. She would
bark and bark and try to get them to let her back in.
A rescue person with the Militia finally got the family to turn her over
to them, and that is when we found her through Petfinder.com. When we
first got her, quite a bit of her fur was thin or cut out because it had
been matted and tangled. As you can see from the picture, she is doing
much, much better, and still has her spunk and spirit. She will stand up
to any of the other three dogs in our house. They are all much bigger than
she is.
Annie is not scared of anything. She runs after the yard blower, and
challenges anything that makes loud noises. She runs up to the vacuum
cleaner when I am cleaning, and tries to bite it into pieces. She has
taken on our 89 pound lab/shepherd for a chew bone, and that was a
showdown! She is quite feisty, and generally fits the Silky Terrier
personality, but she is also sweet, and will give out kisses. She
tolerates our cats, and ignores them most of the time, but now and again
gives them a run for their money. Her favorite treat is a dried jerky
chicken tender, and she will dance for that. She loves to have her belly
rubbed more than anything else. She also loves to go for car rides. If
she hears the keys jingle she comes running. She is a good doggie, and
we are glad to let her retire here in our home, and hopefully will have
her best years from here on out.
All of our dogs are rescues, and they are simply the best!
