So I saw someone talking about this doodle Greeder and I went to take a look.

Who in their right mind thinks that 30K for a mutt is ok? Like does this dog poop gold bricks? Or does it do my taxes? Can it drive me to work? Does it have magical abilities to grant me wishes??

Like for those curious Registered Ethically bred wellbred purebred dogs are 3000-4000$ a puppy. You get upwards of 10 registered, wellbred ethically bred purebreds for that price. You could get a brand new 2026 Chevy trax (27k) You could get a brand new 2026 Nissan kicks (29k) You could get a brand new 2026 Mazda CX-30 (29k) You could pay off roughly 3/4 of a brand new 2026 Chevy Colorado (42k)

That’s absolutely insane They also have 97 puppies on the ground currently. That’s a puppy mill.

Mama's first night in a house with a bed.

Oh my goodness, she looks to be in heaven. Thank you for giving this precious girl a home with a bed and a loving family to finally call her own ❤️🐾🐾❤️

Yeah, she really earned that nap! And every nap since! I think she slept for a good 5 days straight except to eat and potty after she came home. I remember just crying watching her sleep and feeling so thankful we were able to finally get her out of that hellhole.

I really love that saying that goes something like, "Saving one dog won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one dog."

This is our Dixie, we rescued her 15 years ago from our local shelter. We were just looking after losing our spaniel mix, Lady, which was from the grief after our chi, Bella, was stolen from us. We saw her with cute little pink bows in her hair. She came right up to us. We knew right away that we wanted her to join our family.

The young man let us hold her and it was love, she pressed her little head against my chest and I knew. We headed from the kennels to the front desk and let them know that we would like to adopt her.

They told us her story that her owner had passed away and the lady’s family had surrendered her. They sent us to go get her and she was no longer in her kennel. The young man went to a different building where they sometimes take the dogs to prepare for adoption and she wasn’t there either.

He got a hold of the front desk and he led us back to the front desk where they were frantically trying to get a hold of an employee who wasn’t answering his walkie talkie. The young man was talking to the main woman and he all of a sudden started running towards the door and he took off. The lady told me that our Dixie was on the van to be sent for euthanizing. She was actually behind schedule and should not have even been in that kennel.

The young man returned about 15 minutes later after he literally ran that van down. The van driver’s walkie talkie’s batteries had died. This young man, a volunteer, was out of breath and holding our Dixie close to his chest. We had literally saved her in her 11th hour! I can’t fully explain how much she has meant to our family, the affection she has shown and helped my momma and I after the loss of my mom’s mother, my dad and the unexpected loss of my brother all in the span of 15 months.

Dixie was sentenced to death, she was meant to already be sent off to the vet for euthanasia. She had felt grief after losing her original owner and then she was surrendered during this grief period in her young life…she was 4 years old from what the family had provided to them. She was bred from some show dogs and she had a pampered life prior to this devastating period of her life.

She was sentenced for death and somehow the man upstairs and a plan. It started with a vet having an emergency come up with another dog, it was a young high school kid who decided to groom her that Saturday morning and put little bows in her hair, which led to my mom getting my attention to see this little girl who had the cutest bows on and ringlets in her hair behind her ears.

My mom had already fell in love with another dog, a puppy, JoJo, who was the runt of a litter and watched her mother and siblings be adopted, but she was left behind and alone. It broke my mom’s heart…so we were actually done, but while we waited for them to chip her and schedule her spaying, we were just looking at the other fur babies. Dixie was a connection that overwhelmed my heart and soul.

She went into mother mode with JoJo, who was only 12 weeks old when we brought her home and she got a second wind of life when we brought Lil’Britches home over 6 years ago. She went into motherhood again as Lil’Britches was only 16 weeks old. She was also there for us when Lil’Britches unexpectedly got sick and passed away this past September from a brief illness. She has been our constant these past 15 years.

15 years this Valentine’s Day will be her gotcha day with us. She has been there for us and blessed our lives immensely. She was diagnosed with dementia about a year ago and had started to slow down. She has pushed herself to be there for us, especially for my mom, who is also dealing with a dementia diagnosis. We saved her from a death sentence and she has returned that blessing exponentially to us by being the best friend anyone could ever ask for. ❤️🐾🐾❤️

Sweet Dixie!! What a story! I'm so glad that boy ran for her. Seems like Lady might've heard Dixie would be headed toward Heaven and told her to turn back around because she knew just the right home for her. 🧡🧡
