about vilma’s pups

The Daschsund “Trixie” is a rescue from Arkansas, she was found stray in a rural area at 6 months old, left to fend for herself in a coyote-infested area. Probably an escapee from a backyard breeders, she took several days to convince her to come to the rescuers.

Norton, the mixed breed, was impounded from a hoarding situation in Clewiston, Florida. He was afraid of humans, poorly socialized and severely abused. We took him into our family and now he enjoys working at the salon and having a safe, happy life at home. He loves all creatures, and greatly enjoys our harmonious garden.
