Puppy mills need to be shut down! This poor girl. We need a national registry for animal abuse and neglect.

Is it time yet to shut down puppy mills that treat animals so badly? Regulations and checks needed. The suffering of these dogs is unbelievably soul destroying..for all!

How could anyone hurt golden retrievers. They're love personified. Her early life must have been so traumatizing for her. I'm glad she was given a chance to heal & thrive.

This lady who rescued her is an absolutely angel.
This made me cry and smile all at the same time.

This made me so sad, the way she felt having her babies taken away from her all the time, till she finally got babies that were hers forever! I'm so glad she had that feeling of not losing another baby. Also very glad she's opened up and can just be a DOG finally, with fresh air, and green grass to run on. She's very beautiful, with that plush fur. Thank you for your kindness and understanding for this now un-broken momma.

I was involved with golden retreiver rescue for over 25 years with many fosters . Inside every one of those scared, broken dogs was a loving puppy. It just takes love and patience!

Who would keep a dog in a cage it's whole life...only a heartless monster...I'm so sick of people who mistreat animals!! 😡😡

Seeing her holding on to the toy was just heartbreaking. The horror, pain, and loss is beyond imaginable. Thank you for saving this wonderful creature. Bless your kind soul. 🤗

I hope Eleanor was a "Foster Fail" and continues to live happily ever after with Jill!

Eleanor would be such an incredible mum to Foster pups. She clearly has all the love in the world and she loved her babies.
So glad she found someone to love her in the end ❤

god, this poor girl was so traumatized by having her babies stolen over and over that she just shut down. i can't imagine. thank you to her owner for making her feel safe <3

Her eyes! It’s unbelievable how her eyes have changed so much from gloomy to bright, wide eyes. You are both angels and I’m happy you found each other. ❤️

this is way too cruel and terrifying for all animals :( and I consider golden to be one of the most comforting and gentle types of dogs, seeing her trembling and being afraid of everything is heartbreaking but luckily she found the love she deserves now!

My husband was called to a home that had flooded. When he got there he found many dogs in the basement in crates. Some had drown unfortunately, but he grabbed two that were alive and brought them home. For months they would not leave our basement. They'd hide in dark corners. They were absolutely terrified of the outdoors. My daughter brought her little dog, Sophie, to stay with us and it turned out to be exactly what was needed. Sophie seemed to know that our two dogs needed therapy and she showed them that they were safe with us and that it was safe to go outside. Dogs are great!

[RosettaStoned]

I'm absolutely repulsed that humans could do such terrible things to animals. I'm so happy for this beautiful girl but my heart and soul hurts beyond words for those left behind.

[evarogers]

I'm caught between crying for her pain and loss, and laughing at the pure joy she's experiencing now. She's a beautiful girl who deserves only the very best.

Not every dog has a “support person”. There is a special place in heaven for compassionate people like you 🦮💕

THIS STORY JUST BROKE MY HEART, THE WAY SHE TREMBLE BECAUSE SHE WAS SCARED WAS JUST HEARTBREAKING TO ME. GOD BLESS YOU FOR SAVING HER.

[anjalisharmapusa]

The rescuers have a heart of gold. All humans should be kind to animals.

Seeing her shutdown broke my heart, glad she recovered and was able to be a dog again. Thanks to people who do this to bring animals back from depression.
