Everybody loves puppies!!!

We received a call from a repeat offender telling us she again had a litter of puppies she needed us to take. My husband went to check it out and was appalled at the conditions they were living in. They were separated from their momma already (too early in my opinion) and shut on a dirty, stinky porch. Mom was tied out with no food or water and you could see every bone in her body. We fostered puppies out from the litter the momma dog came from but this woman was unwilling to give this dog up-now here she is creating more unwanted dogs for the world.
When my husband went to get the puppies she again refused to give one up. The director at the shelter tried to talk her into bringing in the mom and pup for vet care and spaying but the woman refused. She also admitted her mother's cat is dying of cancer and they don't have enough money to put her to sleep. The shelter is hoping to seize mom and pup but for now 8 of these little guys are safe.




There are four mostly tan pups and four mostly black pups(with tan and white markings).


Aw, look at that face.

Look, Tage the Border Collie can roll his tongue.






Stay tuned for a slew up unsorted puppy pictures.
I tried to get one of each pup but then lost track...so they are just random shots.





Nice eyes Tayla.





There are six little girls and only 2 boys.
I think this is the one Dessa calls Little Ann (Red Fern Grows).














Aren't those cool black markings?








Mom is a German Shepherd/lab mix? She's super sweet and would only be about 50-60lbs if she was fed.








No one knows who dad is. The woman thought it was the neighbor dog...who is thought to be a hound(coon?)/pit mix...but who knows. When the woman complained he got her dog pregnant the owners of that dog tied him up on their balcony with too long of a line. He fell off and hung himself :(






I'm not seeing any Pit in these pups yet...but their little barks are pretty cute and hound like.
Their personalities are very lab like. Sweet, gentle and so happy to be with people. When you pick them up they snuggle their little puppy nose into your neck and just sigh--oh it's euphoric.





Meeting one of the foster cats.











Puppy fanny.


























Awwwww





























































































































Isn't her color beautiful?












































Dinner time.







We are fostering for the local humane society so adoptions will be through them when they are old enough.
Do you need a puppy?
Know anyone who does?
These guys are going to make great dogs!






Couple quick videos of nothing exciting.
