Pregnant Scottish Terrier

[ScottieMommy]

Yes i know it was my mistake. But at least i know for a fact that these puppies WILL never endup in a shelter. Because one 100% sure i am keeping one and i am 100% sure my grandmother is keeping one. And no her dogs ALL died of old age, she NEVER gave one up.

So my mistake wont endup with any puppies in the shelter. Like some people actually sell them for $1000 or up. Money NEVER crossed my mind.

The point everyone here is trying to make that even though you have homes for two puppies, that is two puppies in a shelter somewhere that are going to die rather than get a home that you could have provided to them.

If you and your grandmother wanted puppies so badly there are MANY good ones, even pedigreed ones, in shelters you could have chosen from rather than allow, plan or accidentally breed your own dog.

This is BYB. You should be getting this poor dog in for an abort and spay before it is too late.

You have mixed breeds. You had not researched; don't know or seem to care WHAT the standard if for the breed. No testing, no concerns about what genetically may turn out wrong with puppies. I agree wit the above, if you and grandma wanted puppies, go to a shelter. Now go take care of your dear Nena while you can.

My grandmother was not looking for a puppy at the moment. She LOVES Nena and told me if she was ever to have puppies she will take one for sure. Her oldest dog recently passed away two months ago.

By the way some shelters make it really hard to adopt sometimes. Like if you rent half the shelters or more will turn you down and they are really strick. I am sure that an animal lover who rents will NOT return a dog to a shelter.

Down here in my city i was looking at Petfinder once and one no kill shelter adopts out dogs for $250 if there purebred and they even give you papers that owner left for more charge which is pathetic! They even wanted $250 for a Puggle and added him under the purebred list. Are you kidding me? That seriously got me mad, how they compare purebreds to mutts in a shelter and charge more. While the kill shelters charges $55 for ALL dogs and they need the money even more.

And how much are the vet bills for the pregnant puppy going to cost you? This is impossible to justify away. No matter how you look at it it is a poor decision.

Maybe we are all being too subtle.

The fact that this person (the OP) posted the same situation on another forum I'm on and got A LOT of great advice and information (people were slightly nicer there, though.) Seems not much will get through to the OP and I wish her and her dog luck.

It is NOT pathetic. A lot of times these dogs come to these rescues in very poor condition and need a lot of vet care. Not to mention the time they spend in the care of the rescue. There's the cost of food. The cost of gas if the rescues do adoption day events.

You may spend a very low price for a shelter dog, but you spend just as much, if not more in vets costs.

Ugggh!!! See, this is the attitude right here that i find disgusting! Would you suggest the same thing to a human mother that hasn't even had one child yet?

I can see if this dog had been mated by something twice its size getting an abortion, but not for something like this.

These pups are on the way whether you like it or not, let's at least be civil with this poster and give as much advice as we can for a HEALTHY mom and litter.
