- Ember
Ember was rescued from a puppy mill last year. She is a gentle 3-year-old border collie mix that came to the shelter with three puppies, each of whom has been adopted. Because Ember spent nearly three years at a puppy mill, she is a bit scared of people at first, but she definitely warms up to those she trusts and loves.
