Why she/he was brought to the rescue: WISE recently rescued a group of dogs who were throwaways from an Amish breeding puppy mill. When the “breeder” decided that the dogs were no longer needed for breeding, he planned to euthanize them. WISE and other rescues stepped up to rescue them.

He is a great companion.
