Our New Rescue Lots Of Pictures!! Cuteness...beware!
First I would like to apologize for not posting sooner, things have been really crazy for awhile. I would also like to apologize for the size of these pictures, I tried resizing them, but it didn't work.
I would like to introduce you to Beautiful.

She is a 2 1/2 year old Red Nose Pit Bull Terrier. She came to me in June from the Chicagoland Bully Breed Rescue. Her former owner had to give her up. It seems that Beautiful's owner was dating a man who decided to have them buy a house then take off. So the lady was stuck with a new mortgage, 2 car payments, 2 children, and two dogs...one being pregnant. This is the story that was given to CBBR, but we are think they are leaving a few things out.
The lady and her oldest son said Beautiful "took a walk" and ended up pregnant. Yet the other dog they owned was a male Pittie, intact. The lady also told CBBR that the male, Little, was Beautiful's brother. We, sadly, believe he is the father of the pups. He was a light tan and white pittie and the pups are very light in color, not to mention that two died at birth and one is deaf and possible partially blind. I know that in large litters one or two pups may die, but it just all adds up, ya know? They also told CBBR that Beautiful never had pups before...well, we beg to differ. Not only were her nipples HUGE (I was told with every litter they get bigger), but a neighbor of the lady's stopped at the house when CBBR was there and just happened to say "Oh, she's pregnant again?", so I am sure they have bred her before.
Well, Beautiful gave birth on June 22nd at about 10pm. She had 9 pups, 7 made it and are doing well. The smallest one is the one we believe is deaf and possibly partly blind. They have an appointment in two weeks for shots and the vet will be doing tests on "Casper". They will all find great homes, I am sure of it. As for Beautiful, we are not sure what her future will be. She is great with people, not sure yet about dogs, we will have to wait till her she is out of "mommy mode" to find that out. But VERY cat aggressive. Her prey drive is always at 200%. She ended up killing one of our rescue kittens a few weeks back, it was very sad. CBBR is worried that she may end up hurting somebody trying to get to her "prey". She will be temp tested in about 3 weeks (once the pups are fully weaned) and her future will be decided then. I am hoping we can find a way to save her.
Anyway, with out further ado, here are the pups and their "Beautiful" mommy.
What a good mama. The pups are just 3 days old here.
