Pup update

....about those 7 dogs I rescued........

Looks like the problem was parvo. I found a 2nd pup sick when I went home for lunch Thurs. Took to the vet. By the time I got him there knew he was not going to make it. Still had the vet give him a shot of antibiotics and got fluids for him (home treatment). He waited for me to get home Thurs evening, died right after I got there. I called him Duke. He was the biggest pup and a real handsome one.

I had gotten some vaccine for the healthy ones, when I checked on the others, pup Lucy was not well. Caught her early. Immediately gave her sub q fluids, Kaopectate and got antibiotics the next day. She is recovering...up and about and ate this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The runt pup who I called Buster, but likely will rename Marty when I decide for sure I am keeping him (prolly will). He is healthy and happy. Has gotten over his fear of people...stays on my heels.

Another pup Rosie is healthy...no sign of illness.

When the threat if illness is passed I will have 4 dogs available for adoption. 2 female pups...both black...Lucy has white paws. Their mother is pit/lab mix. Very sweet and smart. Pups look lab. They are going to make great pets.

Also available is the Mom (Dolly) and her friend a 6 mth old brindle pit (Susie). Susie is a lover. Very nice disposition on both dogs.

Will get pics up soon. I need to find good homes for these gals.

If anyone out there is interested or knows someone who is and will provide a good home.....please let me know.

Good for you for looking after these animals. If it were me I would have just taken them to the no kill shelter. It's great to hear everyone is doing better. Good luck with the adoptions!

There is not a no kill shelter here. There is an animal adoption group but they only take animals from the pound....if they have room. Will not take a chance on that!

LP, I'm on the board of our local SPCA, which is a no-kill shelter. We have a relationship with several animal rescue organizations up and down the East coast. Anything I can do to help? Perhaps find you a no-kill shelter or rescue group?

(((hugs))) What you're doing is wonderful! I'm so glad the other pups will be ok. I wish we could help, but we have 8 kittens to find homes for.
