Phoebe was a breeder dog in a puppy mill located
in the Selden area of Long Island, NY. She was kept for years before the
S.P.C.A. rescued her with other dogs in a cage so small (only 2.5 square
feet!) she could neither stand upright on her back legs or turn around.
Two to three other dogs were jammed in the cage with her and they stood,
painfully, on chicken wire flooring. From six months old until the time
she was rescued Phoebe was kept constantly pregnant and raising puppies.
She was emaciated (I could stick my fingers in-between her ribs), and had
urine and feces rain down on her and her puppies from cages stacked on
top of each other. She was kept in a filthy, damp basement with 200 other
dogs in cages who were fed slop kept in a big barrel (when they got fed,
that is).
She never saw the sunlight, never saw the outdoors, never felt grass under
her paws and never learned to play. She was afraid of the rain, the wind,
people..just about everything. When I'd go to pick her up she would go
limp, roll her eyes back in her head and become catatonic. The vet said
she had never seen a more depressed dog. After being rescued, she had to
be taught how to play, learn it was ok to bark and just be a dog. I would
play certain games with her to exercise her legs in order to build up the
muscles because after living in a cage all her life she had muscle atrophy
and could hardly walk.
Phoebe lost an eye in this concentration camp and her other eye had a detached
retina. She was abused and traumatized and they all left their scars. In
addition to the psychological problems she had major medical ones as well.
She had heart disease, recurring staph infections, inflammatory bowel disease,
glaucoma, skin problems, most of her teeth had crumpled and fallen out
from malnutrition and calcium depletion from constant nursing. She had
two surgeries to remove additional teeth and when taken out they had no
roots on them. She lumbered like a raccoon instead of walking like a normal
dog. He feet were splayed, her legs bowed and when walking they gave out
at times. She was so filthy when I got her that it took multiple baths
to clean her and her color went from gray to buff, white and silver. Her
ears were black inside and she smelled terrible. I couldn't go near the
back end of her as she growled and snapped at me in fear , all from being
forcibly mated and held down. She lived less than half a normal lifetime
because of the suffering she endured.
The beauty of it all, even though she was only with me 3 years, is that
she grew into the most gentle, sweet, loving spirit. She gained weight,
was no longer withdrawn, and loved children and her most favorite thing
to do was play. She would get all excited and bark up a storm when I came
home, so happy to see me. She was a wonderful companion and great company
and I feel extremely fortunate to have had her and known her.
Even though she is gone now and I will always miss her I feel at peace
knowing that when she left this earth she was happy and knew love. She
was an amazing animal and very special not only to me but to all who knew
and loved her. Thank you, Little Phoebe, you are my heart. I miss you every
day...
