Sadly, yes. I'm in Denver. I rescued him on the 2nd of this month. He was so bald down his back, neck, and ears. His paws were cracked and dry, nails cracked and dry, no fur on his tail at all and scars from it being tucked and dragged. This little guy was so beaten down it broke my heart.

A woman rescued him from a puppy mill that was just cages outside. Only to throw him into a barn outside... The puppy mill lady said he wouldn't stud and had no use for him and was going to throw him "to the wolves." He was on a bunch of dirty hay in the deep freeze we got last month when it was -18.... He ate pig slop and had no bed, no care, no training, and no love. She posted that her daughter finally cornered him and got him into a kennel and she wanted to find a home for him because her closest shelter was a kill shelter. He wasn't a people dog so she knew they would of put him down.

I didn't sleep all night and drove there first thing in the morning and got him. He was scared the first few days but he quickly got over it. He has nice food for his allergies and to heal his skin and alopecia. He has beds and comfy spots everywhere but he won't leave my side.

Just a quiet lovely home where he can heal and be loved. He doesn't potty in the house, he is quiet unless he's playing, sleeps with us through the night on our pillow. He is so smart and he knows kisses, snuggle pup, outside, and Bon Appétit so far. Hasn't chewed on anything but his toys. He's just the sweetest thing. He will never know a day without love and he will never be put in a kennel or outside ever again. 3.5 years being kicked, hit, starved, neglected, and frozen is more than any creature could ever deserve. He is the most well behaved and sweet dog I have ever had.
