Harmony - Poodle

This poor little puppy mill rescue Poodle is the shyest I've ever met. Harmony stared at me dolefully from the back of the kennel and just shook as I put the leash on her. Then outside, as soon as I set her down, she ran up against the wall and flattened herself behind some tall weeds. When I lifted her out of there, she crawled under some bushes. No point traumatizing her anymore on that outing so I let her recover there. Eventually, she relaxed a little and started looking around, sniffing the air.

I don't know how long it's going to take for Harmony to come out of her shell but even if she never becomes a crowd-loving extrovert, she'll make someone a very cuddly, round the house companion.





The best way to check on the adoption status of this dog (and other dogs and cats and other small domestic animals) is to visit Toronto Animal Services adoption website or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter. If the dog is no longer on the TAS adoption website, it's probably because it's been adopted already.

    Poor sweetie! She has one of the saddest faces I've ever seen - her eyes are so expressive in their fear and sadness. She's just adjusting to her new surroundings but I'm hopeful she'll be fine. A bit of time and some careful love and affection should reassure her and soon, she'll be living a wonderful, happy life away from the rotten puppy mill she came from. Harmony, don't worry sweetie, you're in the best of hands now.

    Harmony is a lovely looking dog but so very sad (and scared). She is a special dog who needs some very special people to love her forever...to teach her that there is life outside the dreaded puppy mill. My heart goes out, to her, and I pray that she will find the love that she has so badly missed...and needed in her life.

    One picture, one thousand words, all of them heartbreaking... WHo could look at that expression and NOT want to shut down every puppy mill in the world RIGHT NOW?

    awww Fred, what beautiful photographs! If those don't get people to fight for the closure of Puppy Mills I don't know what could! I hope they are going to be used far and wide to get people to join the battle. And I am sure someone will rush to ease Melody's fear with a loving home that will show her that there are good human beings in this world. And who with kindness and love can wipe away the memories she has of the cruelty she endured in the puppy mill.

    so sad, she looks as if she has been told she is a bad, bad dog and is just awaiting the expected awful punishment from the puppy mill scum.
    Hang in there Melody some compassionate person will take you home and show you that you are a very good dog indeed and I am sure there will be treats too!
