Quilted Dog

If you rescued your dog from an abusive situation, what were his/her circumstances?
We recently acquired a one year old miniature dachshund from a family who kept her in an airline crate most of her life. Because of her isolation, she has some major issues when it comes to people. I believe wholeheartedly in crate training. This was not just a crate training situation. She was let out of her crate very little and not socialized AT ALL, which has brought out some major aggression problems with strangers.
She is making progess slowly, and enjoying her new life with her two German Shepherd brothers. Her days are spent playing in the back yard chasing butterflies and terrorizing chipmunks. She finally knows what toys are, and she loves to be cuddled. She has her own doxie bed with a huge quilt that she burrows under.
Physically, she wasn't beaten, but mentally it really did a number on her. We will seek professional help with her if needed. She has a forever home with us, so we won't give up on her.
What are your experiences with your rescued pets?
My doberman was throw out of a car and then they hit him with the car and drove off and left him.
He was picked up and taken to a vet who kept him for about a week and could find nothing major wrong. He was then put into rescue. I got him as a foster for the rescue he was 12 weeks old and about 30 pounds. huge dog no manners and no training.
He earned his CGC tiltle from AKC and did some work as a therapy dog.
I lost him a couple of months ago to cancer. He was only 5 years old.
