A Sunflower Bow Tie for a Puppy Mill Dog

We often receive messages from friends and supporters of Harley and many touch our hearts deeply. Below is the story of a very special (and lucky) little dog named Kody which was shared by his mom. Kody won the sunflower bow tie in the our recent Harley’s Dream Auction. What a handsome boy!

“I have a very special little man in my life which came about because of Harley and his entire pack. I went to PetSmart to get treats for the rest of my pack 2 years ago and for some unknown reason I ended up in their adoption area and left with my Kody. Poor little man had been a puppy mill survivor and had some horrible injury that the people who turned him in to the local shelter said was due to being hit by a car, butyou could tell he was kicked over and over for no reason other than he was 12 years old and no longer needed. The shelter actually had a record on him that dated back to 2005 when these people had brought in a litter to get vaccinations and the good people at the shelter made notes that they all suspected the humans were puppy mill owners and needed paperwork so they could sell the puppies for a higher price. That day when Kody and I found each other will always be one of those memories that makes me cry for joy , but for also the heart break for all the abuse he went through. Three major surgeries by the Idaho Humane Society and a loving foster home and just plain fate brought this sweet man into my life. But if it hadn’t been for Harley and the gang I would have not known about the horrible lives these poor pups have to go through. Thank you so much for everything you do and keep up the great work!” -Jill
