vote for VELL!!!!!!!!

My pal rescued this cute little doggie.. go vote for him once a day for the rest of the month so she can win.. here is her story.......

"Last November I took him home from CACC on Staten Island. He was an emaciated, balding, vomiting, ear infected, un-neutered, kennel coughed mess that the Vet estimated at 10yrs old and CACC deemed "virtually unadoptable". I was told he is a poodle (though at the time he looked nothing like any poodle I'd ever seen). I cannot explain why I took him home that day... He looked like such a mess, I hate to admit it but my first impulse was to just get myself out of there... But I didn't. I sat on the floor with him... I thought he was trying to climb onto my lap (I was sitting cross legged) ... but he was actually having a bout of diarrhea on my sock. I ended up going home that day without the sock on my foot, but with him in my arms.

I live on a fixed disability income and though perhaps I had no right to take on the expense of a dog, He needed help and I needed him. I have treated his infections, gotten him dental surgery (twelve teeth pulled ... they were infected all the way up to his little sinuses). I have given him the very best love and care I could afford and even somehow managed to give him what I could not afford.

We believe he was a breeder in a puppy mill, spending most of those ten years in a cage. When he first came home with me he didn't even know how to play or react to anyone or anything. Now, he is getting strong, his fur is growing back and he has the most beautiful light in his eyes and dance in his step, he LOVES to say hello to every one and every dog/cat/horse he meets. He is now one of the most loving and friendly dogs I have ever known.

I cannot begin to verbalize the love I feel for this beautiful little soul. He has changed my life, renewed my faith in people, and gives me hundreds of reasons to smile every day. I cannot imagine how we ever lived without each other. "
