Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET GLORY. She is one of 20 dogs rescued by UYR recently from a horrendous puppy mill in Southern Georgia. Glory is a Morkie who is 4 years old and weighs 8.2 lbs. She is being fostered in Mobile, AL.
UPDATED BIO 03/15/2019: Glory is learning what life is outside of the horrible puppy mill where she spent her entire life. Since this property was operating as a puppy mill, inhumanely breeding dogs to sell for profit, many of these dogs were highly sought-after small breeds, and there were a hundred or so yorkshire terriers, maltese and yorkie/maltese mixes, in addition to many other small breed dogs.
Glory’s life has really changed in the past couple of weeks – she went from living in a tiny wire crate with hundreds of other dogs to being the princess in her foster house. She has finally begun to settle in well and she even enjoys the comfort of her crate at times. One of the resident dogs is showing her the house rules and helping her learn proper house manners. House-training is going well and walks on a leash are now a breeze with her brother since she follows his lead – hooray! He is also teaching her to play like a beloved companion dog.
Huge changes have been happening this week for Glory. She enjoyed a spa day earlier in the week and looks super sassy! Later in the week, she was spayed and had a dental cleaning. She will be taking it easy the next week so that she can recuperate. Foster Mom says that Glory is making remarkable progress, especially for a puppy mill dog, and this speaks to the amazing resilience and determination she possesses. Unlike most of the dogs who have spent their lives in a puppy mill, Glory is very loving and affectionate. She seeks out human contact and loves it.
An ideal forever family for Glory would be one with another dog to help her stay on a routine, show her the ropes and give her some doggie companionship which she really enjoys. A fenced-in yard would be a bonus for Glory since she is enjoying the freedom of running for the first time in her life. Glory can be placed in the home with children over the age of 10 years old as she will surely enjoy running in the yard with her two-legged foster sisters, and the feel of the wind in her face!
Glory is really a very special little princess. She is super sweet and very smart. While she is still cautious at times since everything in her life is new to her, she enjoys human contact and would thrive best with another dog in the home. If you think you might be a good match for Glory, please consider filing out an adoption application. Her puppy mill days are a thing of the past and she is anxiously awaiting news of a forever home.
Now a few words from Princess Glory: "I am not really feeling all that well at the moment. My Foster Mom took me to the vet a day or two ago and I was thinking it would be another spa day when I got all dolled-up. When I was at the doggie spa, I got a warm bath, nails trimmed, haircut and blow-dry, and some really nice smelling spritz’y stuff. My entire foster family kept telling me how beautiful I looked. Even with my short hair I was feeling very sassy – and pretty for the first time in my life.
Well, boy-oh-boy was I WRONG about that! The Vet is not at all like the spa I went to. I don't remember much of the day at the vet. I think they drugged me because I remember falling asleep and when I woke up, my mouth was a little sore and my belly was really sore. I even heard my Foster Mom saying something about me having stitches. I don't know what stitches are, but I will have to figure it out because I don't think I like having them."
The UYR members that pulled Glory were shocked and saddened at the inhumane conditions in which these dogs were living. The property had more than 700 dogs being housed in a warehouse in too-small crates – with more than one dog per crate, and stacked one on top of the other. A majority of the dogs pulled were suffering from malnourishment, sores and abrasions, severe dental disease, matted hair, infections, severe eye injuries, congenital diseases and general severe neglect. The smell alone of the poor dogs was enough to cause a person to be nauseous and these dogs lived 24/7 365 days a year in this environment.

Please watch for updated postings on all 20 dogs from the puppy mill that came into UYR and who are being fostered in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky. This was a huge endeavor that took a lot of supportive members who all volunteered their time and without our amazing fostering members, we would not have been able to save so many. UYR is very proud and humbled to have participated in bringing happiness and new lives and love to 20 little doggies. The vetting expenses on these little dogs will be huge, so if you have been moved by Glory’s story and the stories of the other 19 dogs who are journeying toward wellness and love, please consider making a donation to help UYR continue to participate in rescues of this magnitude.
