    About this ebook

    This book is written solely about my experience with rescues. Notice, that I’m not a dog whisperer. I just feel the need to share my, ups and downs, my joy and heartache, with you. Of course I will tell you about me, and why I wrote this book.

    Also, I will try to explain a little bit about how dogs are suffering at the puppy mills. How dogs that are adopted from animal shelters become your most faithful and loyal friend. That adopting dogs from foreign countries is perfectly alright.

    Also, I will share my feelings with you about the joy and pain I experienced by taking in rescues. Taking in rescues is the most rewarded thing I’ve ever done. I don’t regret a single moment. I will try to explain the importance of having your dog micro-chipped and registered. That your dog is spayed or neutered.

    Taking in a dog, especially a rescue isn’t something that you should take lightly. I will explain what it means if you decide to adopt a rescue because a lot of these dogs come with issues. Some dogs have no issues, but most of them aren’t so lucky because they were treated bad by people.

    I always say that there isn’t much to tell about me. In 2020, right before the Corona pandemic, my husband and I moved back from Germany to the Netherlands. I love to write stories, and it’s still a learning process, as it’s with many things.I like traveling and taking care of Emma, my doggie. Also, I would like more spare time to read, but all my time is divided between my regular job, writing stories, and Emma.I’ve been a vegetarian for many years now and never regretted it. Also, I despise people who wear fur. It’s disgusting! I will never understand people who help keep maintaining this awful industry of torturing and killing animals.I like to cook and love to try new recipes; it’s how I learned that nearly every dish can be served with meat substitutes.My husband and I spend the winters in beautiful Spain, where the temperatures are pleasant. Even so, it’s Italy that’s still my favorite country.That’s enough for now. If you have questions, just contact me.

      The beginning

      My first rescue was Faith. This little dog was, together with 30 other dogs, rescued from the puppy mill back in October 2015. In this book, I will share my story of caring for Faith, Sophie, and Emma. Believe me when I tell you that it was not an easy road. Sadly enough, right now, Emma is the only rescue that I have left.

      Writing this book was not as easy as I thought that it would be!

      The reason I wrote this book is that I would like to share my experience with rescues with you. Plus, urging you to, please, stay away from the puppy mills! You must know that I am not a dog psychologist, dog trainer, or dog whisperer. I am just me!

      Like most people, I do have hobbies, like Painting, drawing my dogs, and reading, just to name a few. However, besides my dogs, writing is my greatest passion. Plus, it’s a good outlet too. Also, with this book, I want to warn everyone about the puppy mills! Stay away from puppy mills, these monsters have only one thing in mind, and that’s money. Yes, again, and I will repeat this throughout this story. So that even in your sleep, you still remember to stay away from puppy mills.

      I have always been a big animal lover and grew up with dogs. When I was a kid, I often brought home injured animals. My family and I nursed most of them back to health so that we could set them free again.

      Unfortunately, I couldn’t have any kind of pet when I spread my wings and started living life independently. Why not? Very simple. Back then, I worked at least forty hours each week. Working that many hours is leaving no time for animals, at least that’s my opinion. If you do not have time to give a pet the necessary attention and care, do not buy or adopt an animal!

      ******

      There was a time that after many years of hard work, I lost my job. For a person like me to be unemployed was hell because I am not a person who can sit at home all day and do nothing. So, I ended up as a volunteer at the animal shelter in the city where I grew up and lived for a large part of my life. In this period, I also learned a lot about how well an animal shelter works and that a shelter-animal who gets adopted is kind, sweet, loyal, and grateful. During my time as a volunteer at the animal shelter, I adopted a small German Shepherd and a cat. It was fun because it turned out that the German Shepherd never had any kind of training and was even neurotic at times. Although he was housebroken, that was as far as it went.

      The cat was a wild child and not afraid of Brando (the German Shepherd) at all. Together they were full of mischief. I lived in an apartment, and when I took Brando for his evening walk, he made so much noise that everyone knew that I took him for his walk. Every time we went outside, Brando screamed and barked like he was a crazy dog. I met people who were just shaking their heads. They told me that they thought I was abusing my dog because of the way he screamed and howled just like a wolf until we were back home again. Many people thought that I was abusing my dog until they saw me, then they knew differently. At home, believe me, or don’t, he was the calmest dog you’ve ever seen. Often Odin (my cat) and Brando cuddled up together.

      Brando was a typical example of how people should not treat their dogs. Brando’s previous owners had done everything wrong. After they finally screwed up completely, they brought the poor dog to the shelter, explaining that the dog had lost a few marbles. It happens too often; people are screwing up the dog or cat. Yes, you can screw up a cat; in fact, you can screw up any kind of animal. That’s when they bring the dog to the animal shelter. After all, the dog is not listening and can’t be left alone at home because he starts destroying things, but hey, it’s never their fault; it is always the dog’s fault. Wrong! So very wrong.

      ******

      However, in some cases, it’s simply impossible to train the dog and socialize him because the
