Aurora, the Dog of the Day
Name: Aurora
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Belgian Tervuren
Home: Burbank, California, USA
 
   This is my dog, her name is Aurora, she's a four years old Belgian Tervuren. She lives with me, my wife and my other two dogs in beautiful downtown Burbank California. What makes Aurora special? Aurora is a rescue. We filled out a form with Belgian Tervuren rescue, and within two weeks Aurora's foster dad called us. Within days we were at LA Airport picking her up from her long flight from Ames, Iowa. Aurora was terrified of everything - you couldn't stand up without her running out of the room shaking. She must have been terribly abused. It turns out she was a puppy mill "mommy," living in a cage all her life doing nothing but having one litter of puppies after another. We've been administering appropriate medication for her condition - regular doses of love and attention. We've had her now for nearly six months and I'm happy to say she's now a calm and loving part of the family. A happy ending!
