It is with a heavy heart and many tears that I am asking prayers from my puppy families and friends. There is a woman who is bent on destroying me and all I have worked so hard for in bringing happiness and puppy love to you. It has come to the point of harrassment. The struggle of doing this all on my own is one thing, but this added stress is in a word, "overwhelming". If you love your pup and think of me, please pray.

Just a reminder as Summertime is here! And please, please do not leave your pet in the car!!

Praising God tonight for a true miracle. Long story short, Werner was given to a very nice veteran. Unfortunately, Werner got loose from his harness the first day with him. Werner was on the "lamb" for one day short of a month!! Prayer warriors and myself have covered this dog with petitions to God. This poor baby has been through Hell, but God answered all our prayers, protected this sweet fur baby and finally some kind souls were able to capture him and bring him to the local humane society. I saw the Facebook post of his capture and immediately went to Animal Control to claim him. The veteran decided it was best if Werner stayed with me. Praise God!! He's home...never to leave again. His eyes and tail wagging despite his emaciated frame tells me that he's so happy to be home with "mommy". If you ever think God doesn't care about you, just remember this...God cared so much about a little dog lost for a month!! Prayers were miraculously answered!! God loves you more than you will ever know!! Please message or text me if you want to know how to have a relationship with this incredible God!!

Post from Shannon Bell-Teuton

The purchase of a well bred purebred did not sentence another dog to death.
The purchase of a well bred purebred did not cause an increase in the number of dogs in shelter.
Someone wanting a dog with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another dog to not get adopted.
Someone's meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto.
I am not the one who brought these dogs into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders are not the ones who put dogs into shelters either.
It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of dog to bring into it. Maybe I needed a working dog, a sport dog, or simply a companion puppy to raise of a breed I enjoy. No matter the reason, the choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter dog to its death.
A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a dog worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless dogs.
The number of homeless dogs in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them.
Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered dogs IS contributing to the problem.
Your friend who impulse bought a dog at Pet Land IS contributing to the problem.
That guy on Craigslist pumping out the trendiest designer mix as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem.
Your relative who just HAS to let their dog have one litter “so she can experience motherhood” or because “she’s just so sweet” IS contributing to the problem.
Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy working breed without taking the time to research its needs and realize it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem.
A reputable breeder offers their lifelong support. A reputable breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter to begin with. A reputable breeder makes it a contractual obligation to return dogs they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it.
It is understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you take a deeper look, you will find your anger is misplaced.
If you take a deeper look, you will find reputable breeders and those of us who purchase from them are just as angry, we are just pointing fingers at the right causes.

In conclusion, Blaming responsible breeders for shelter dogs is like blaming Harvard graduates for “crack babies”
