We rescued a puppy mill dog when we were living in WI. She turned into the BEST dog that ever owned me. The first year we had her, we would CRY watching her do things puppies would normally do....learning how to be a dog again, filled with joy! She was rescued in 2000 from a puppy mill in Northern WI along with over 200 other dogs, mostly Chihuahuas. RIP dear little Kewpie. We still miss you!

Coconut is precious and I'm so glad she was helped.

I cry everytime. I'm proud to be a member of the ASPCA!! Thank you all so much for helping these fur babies!!

It's lovely seeing Coconut's wagging tail at the end of the video. :)

I remember adopting a dog that was literally a day away from being put down, she became the most well behaved dog we ever had and was just a lovely dog, sometimes they give on the dogs way too easily.

Too bad every dog couldn't have a loving home like this one was given.

Aww such a beautiful dog Im so glad she found a home with people who love her . Remember when you meet someone who mistreat animals never never trust them

I wish all rescues had this positive of an outcome....kudos to the ASPCA & their dedicated staff!

Thank you for given Coconut the chance to be a dog. Can you imagine if this was a human being left in such poor condition, abused and neglect? I would probably be behave the same way. Thank you for the all the hard work you people do thank you to the ASPCA.

It’s sick what they Did too the dogs 🐕 and well done 👍 too the people for saving the dogs and working very hard with them

See that wagging tail? You can't fake that. Well done.

Bless the sweet people who adopted her. She loves them, you can tell

And these dog’s are the most loyal dog you will ever have!! Not to mention you’ll save a life!! ❤️🙏🏽💪🏽

The best way to help these kind of dogs is another well balanced dog showing them how to be dogs.

I'm so glad Coconut found a loving home. ASPCA does such a great service. Love supporting it.

Thank you ASPCA for all of your work. This totally breaks my heart that humans go out of their way to do this...

poor girl. She was so scared, and that was the base cause of her behavior. Once she realizes she can trust people, she will be a wonderful addition to someone's family. It takes time and patience. God bless those who take the time to work with these animals.

If you save one person you save the world, my dog was a rescue and we spent 6 amazing years together . I am grateful you are taking all the time and effort to save more. RIP Chica

Never give up on a dog that has been rescued. They are beautiful and worth every penny spent on their recovery. Thank You for sharing this and thank you for rescuing those who have no voice! A’ho

Socialization is by far the most important thing a dog parent/guardian needs to do.

Oh, Coconut! I love your face, your name, all of you!!! What a precious precious angel.

Rescuers from all countries, who help these wonderful doggies and other animals. Thank you, you're doing an amazing job. We live you all. God bless

With fearful, unsocialized dogs like this one, it's often helpful to introduce them to a calm dog, in order for them to see how a well-socialized dog reacts around humans. It's especially helpful on a walk.

I recently adopted a hoarder/puppy mill dog, and she is still scared to death of people. She is fine with me because she sees me every day, but when strangers are near, she shakes with fear and runs and hides. I'm hoping over time she will calm down, knowing that she is now safe in her new (forever) home.

I love when she said"these animals can all be helped." It's nice that instead of euthanizing the animals because they aren't fitting with the standards expected from a pet they actually help and train them so they can become sociable and find a forever family. Nice job!!!

My doggy was a puppy mill dog she's so pretty apparently she's the perfect color for her breed. She loves chew toys and her crate.

YOU Are Amazing And Wonderful Saviours..Thank You All

You all are amazing blessings, Thank you a million times over for your patience and true compassion, we would be world's apart without you🐾💝🐾💝

this was a story that i wish that all puppy mill dogs will recieve

I donate and feel privileged to do so. Thank you for caring.

Great job! This story again proves how dogs are so quick to forgive humans for neglect and inhumane treatment. Thanks for your work. Brings tears to my eyes.

ASPCA LOVE YOU GUYS! LOVE YOU ALL FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU DO IN RESCUING, SAVING, TREATING & LOVING ANIMALS! YOU ARE ALL HEROES!!!

This is beautiful. Amazing how fast she developed trust. It's actually as much about developing self-confidence in the dog as trust in the human and that thing about letting her dictate when she was touched is part of that. Brilliant work.

I have had my little puppy mill rescue for 6 weeks. The healing process is something to witness. Very happy with my girl. She had her first "makeover" at the groomers last week. In everyway Sweetie has transformed. She is attached strongly to me, like a shadow. I am glad to have helped a dog that had been treated poorly.

Thank you so much for helping these beautiful dogs. No animal should ever be treated this way. Can't believe puppy Mills still exist.

dogs can be trained quite quickly and easily...with love and compassion

One Cannot BLAME THE DOG.. DISRESPECT OF HUMAN TO BE CAUSE. OF LOVE INJURY.. SHE'S A TREASURE..

just too bad that this people who mistreat innocent animals only Care's about money. but thank God for people like you guys. thanks for all your beautiful help

I love you coconut! You would be scared of people too if you were treated this way. Bless the ASPCA. Please donate!

Look at her now, tail wagging, smiling, & wanting to be touched. Good job ASPCA!

God bless you 1000 times And more...

If only they had this faith for all their fearful dogs

Sometimes, as in the case of Coconut..the 'toughest" cases, turn around and become the best, most social, loving pets. That is the reason to support organizations like this. Amazing. Great story, all!!

Oh Coconut, what a angel you turned into. Hope she has a fantastic life. 🐶🐶

To the ASPCA and fellow humans who realize and understand that we ALL deserve to be treated fairly, with love and kindness, and that we all deserve a chance - THANK YOU.

God Bless you SPCA & couple who's are given Coconut a second chance.

I'm always humbled at the compassion shown towards animals and rightfully so. How is it, generally speaking, that humans can be so kind, wanting to rescue animals, yet so many unborn human babies are killed each day? Perhaps some day the unborn will be given the compassion these animals are given.

Big hats off to the recuperation team involved...the girl doing the talking comes across as one seriously smart person.

These animals can be helped.....and they go on to make some humans lives happier as well. Sweet.

God bless the ASPCA.

Thank you for all your hard work, patience, and effort.

It saddens me how fast people can give up when it comes to animals, when in some cases it's only a matter of weeks that things would turn out way better. My two cats were rescues, and the other one wouldn't come out from under my bed for months... and now she climbs onto my lap and generally loves attention even though she's still shy of strangers. I haven't heard of this organization (I'm from Finland) but whoever you guys are, you're doing a great job.

She's a beautiful dog. So so glad she has been rehabilitated. Too beautiful.

This is amazing. PLEASE keep doing what you are for these animals. They need you and love.

Why are puppy mills still around? What they do is beyond criminal. It is evil. Thanks for your work.

Beautiful people with beautiful heart help animals. Thanks for helping those dogs. We love you.

You are truly heroes!!!Because of your hard work the world is a better place now.

Thank you ASPCA,may God bless you in all of your efforts...and bless all the workers with a healthy life,so you can help more dogs in the coming days ahead

That is absolutely fantastic! Saying "good on you guy's " just doesn't even cut it! I cried.. It's sad that this is allowed to happen, the change in that dog is just amazing from how scared it was before. Please keep doing what you're doing, your amazing!

Oh Coconut - have a lovely life.

Thanks for caring for this angel. I would never understand why there aree even puppy Mills when there are already a lot of strays out there.

THANK YOU with all of my spirit for rescuing so many blessed dogs!!! I was moved to tears with joy to see Coconuts recovery again thanks to dedication, LOVE, never failing her always ready to continue in reaching for the success she realized that never could have happened without you all!!! I am relieved beyond what words can describe to see a facility opened to save those dogs that may otherwise perish when results like Coconut in just 6 weeks are end result now many may find new homes!!!!!!

Amazing job with coconut. She is a beautiful dog too. I am so happy for her. I love animals, especially dogs.

THE Work you guys put in really turned coconut's life. she associated touch with pain. her past torments. you guys brought out the joy, the trust and love when you handled her. coconut saw ad felt genuine love. hence she gave her love.

I'm glad you opened a center like this to socialize dogs . I wish ASPCA had a facility like this for stray and feral animals instead of killing them daily because of overpopulation especially killing kittens.

Please God bless these innocent darlings they need love and protection. Please bless the wonderful people who TRULY help and care for them. In Jesus name Amen

The patience, time, love, care, kindness attention can make a whole changed...The world will have a better place for animals with these.. Love this video.. Please continued helping animals, we are their voice! Thank u guys u all are wonderful people.. God blessings to u all and May God brings u all strenght n health..Thank u so much, love this💜💛💚

I love the challenge of a rescue. It is so rewarding to see how their lives get better. They are so greatful

So glad she was helped and is in a forever loving home

Love this organization and other who fight against cruelty.

Oh my Gosh! When they are given a chance they are different dogs. Thank you ASPCA.

beautiful!

This is touching. To see a dog with mental instability like this turn into a loving pet is absolutely heart-warming.

Ohh i love the grandma and grandpa. They love the beautiful creature so much. Thank you

Thank you all soo soo much these precious babies that never got to be loved get to be loved ❤️💖💖💝

What a beautiful ending for Coconut. Thank you for doing this. You guys are awesome!

Thank you for exist! God bless all of you! Wonderful work! Saving lives!

Oh, this made me cry. For all the love you have for these very needy animals. I thank you for that.

Great to see how there are people who care and do not give up, patience and persistent

What a difference a few weeks, patience and love can do for an animal that's traumatized.

Not enough money can be thrown at these organisations and also the people that care for these dogs, I'm sure they get paid nearly nothing for their love, patience and determination. Respect to you all - and yes I do donate to the RSPCA (Australia)

I have rescued two Chihuahua sisters that were in a puppy mill. Both suffer from PTSD. They have made progress in two weeks. This video was very helpful. Thanks!

God bless savers, takecares of animals so lovely animals

A wonderful, wonderful story!! THANK YOU for your great hearts, you redeem humanity!

Thank you very much Sir n Ma'am (team n staff ASPCA ) ❤🙏👏👏❣♥️💞

One gazillion thumbs up! Great rescue, great rehab. Congrats, DFW ASPCA.

So heartbreaking then so heartwarming bless this baby that has gone from hell to heaven!! When will these torture Chambers puppy mills be legally shut down for good????? Thank you guys for saving coco xx

It's.so.heartbreaking.to.think. A.few.weaks.of.patients.and.caring Time.and.devotion.given The.dogs.turn.out.just.great. And.the.unlucky.ones.are.put.to.sleep. I.hope.in.time There.l.more.rescue.centre Like.this. Billion.thanks.for.all.the.devoted Loving.work.you.all.do.

Amazing! In the video you were impressed how far she came in 'just' 6 weeks. I am deeply moved and impressed that you spend 6+ weeks with these dogs. We have a puppy mill Boston Terrier that the pound deemed aggressive and un-adoptable. Two days before her euthanasia date, a local rescue The Boston Brigade picked her up and she is now the friendliest and most loving dog I have ever seen.

All my dogs are rescues and this makes me want to cry and I want to help all the dogs in the world

I cried awww I'm so glad she's better! God bless the people who take the time to help animals like this :)

THIS is the good things ASPCA does do.

Congrats ASPCA! What an amazing job.

These stories always make me cry. So sad that so much damage can be done and so joyful that a bit of time and love can heal such deep wounds.

Awesome!! Lovely dog, lovely people, lovely ending.

You guys are AMAZING. Yes I agree BJ, you cannot fake a wagging tail. That is a happy dog. Well done ASPCA!!

All it takes for ANY dog or cat......is time, patience and LOVE!! They can ALL recover!!

I hope Coconut has the best life ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
