Bea’s story reflects the tragic reality of puppy breeding and sales across the country, but now the tiny Yorkshire Terrier puppy faces a brighter future after being rescued by Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
The unwanted Yorkie was brought to the world-renowned animal charity on 4 March by a worried nurse after her breeder took her to a vet to be euthanised due to the fact she had been born blind, declaring that she would not sell in her condition.
The vet refused to write her off and brought her to Battersea where she was whisked into the Home’s Veterinary Hospital for treatment.
The world-renowned animal charity has campaigned for several years for tighter laws and regulations around the breeding and selling of puppies.
Battersea firmly believes dogs should be companions, not commodities, and works hard to rehome every animal that comes into their care.
