The Mill Pups:
All have been adopted
Sugar Boo is one of the critical cases. She is heartworm positive. Suffers from severe hip displysia, damaged back knees and has a wobble on her back legs (but that doesn't slow her down).
She had multiple rotten teeth. She will be undergoing a slow heartworm treatment after recovery from teeth extraction & spay. She is a sweet girl and is a 5 year old Yorkie-Poo. SugarBoo was adopted February '19
