Dog Rescue Stories: Damiana Survived Life in a Puppy Mill

 Christie, Damiana’s forever mom, always wanted a French bulldog, but was determined not to go through a breeder. The rescue search was arduous and time consuming, but she eventually found FURKIDSRUS in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. The owner rescues French Bulldogs and their puppies from puppy mills and finds them forever homes.
Christie fell in love with baby “Reno” and immediately booked a flight to Tulsa, where she was met at the airport by the rescue owner. She then swept three month old Damiana away to her forever home in Santa Monica, California.

 Damiana is now four years old and is adored by her Mom & Dad, as well as everyone she meets!
