DEL with their eternal families for the anniversary.
Before photos can be found here: See horses, dogs rescued from the “terrible” UP puppy mill
“It was a very happy and emotional reunion celebrating the first year of freedom for these rescued animals,” said Sue Gartland, director of the Delta Animal Shelter. “It was absolutely heartwarming to see happy and healthy dogs and to reunite all of the people who played a role in the rescue. … Some of the dogs were unrecognizable when they met again – they healed so much physically and mentally in one year. They are now living the life they deserve – full of love. “
The dogs were rescued from a puppy mill in rock in August 2020.
In addition to an anniversary meeting, the shelter published a call for updated photos of the rescued dogs on Facebook. Dozens of people shared pictures of their furry family members. The post included a photo of Mama Macy – she looked dirty, tired, and scared – shortly after giving birth to a litter of 10 puppies at the shelter.

Macy was confiscated from the mill along with more than 100 other dogs and puppies. One hundred and two pups were then born at the shelter, officials told MLive. A total of 217 dogs and puppies were adopted as part of the “Rock Rescue”.
Mama Macy was fostered by Julie Dellies, who she eventually adopted because the dog “definitely picked us,” she said.

Macy was among more than 100 dogs rescued from a puppy mill in Rock, Michigan, in August 2020. She gave birth to a litter of 10 shortly after the rescue and was later adopted by one of them.

Macy’s home is in the country with her family, which includes her son Marlon and a golden retriever named Lucy who taught her “how to be a dog,” Dellies said. Macy likes to bark at cows, play in the river and wallow in dirt holes.
Dellie’s daughter adopted Macy’s daughter, Cammie.
“We like to joke that Cammie is a city dog - and clean – while Marlon is a country dog - and usually a wreck,” Dellies said.
Here are some of the other Rock Rescue dogs:
