Sadly they are within the law. The law states they must have food, water and shelter. She did have the basics. But in her case, she needs more than that.
I spoke to her previous owner tonight. I told her that she had been fed only hard kibble at the breeders. Was very skinny. She said that her vet told her to never give her anything but hard kibble. That she wasn't a good eater. She was horrified to find out we are feeding her canned food! Yes she still has her kibbble, which she does nibble on, (barely) but put a plate of canned food in front of her and she goes to town on it!
Then she told me that she has only been to vet twice in her life. No records as to shots, but claimed she has had all her shots but rabies. Could not give me vets name!!! So I doubt if she has ever been to vet.
Claims she is pad trained. Never had accident in her house. Find that one hard to believe too. She has no idea what the pads are for. We are starting at scratch with the training.
Oh and her name was Blossum. Which she doesn't respond to! Mom is trying to find the perfect name for her, but right now she is just sweetie, angel, little one.. hopefully soon she will have a new name.
So I believe this poor little one was never given the care she needs. Was starved in my eyes. Given food she could not or would not eat.. and they didn't even try to find a food she would eat. Its a miracle she lived at all. You would be shocked to see and feel those frail bones.
Forgot to take my camera to moms tonight. I will get a picture of her soon I promise!
